I'm cautiously optimistic about it's design. Honestly, it's verging on the ugly side and I'm not setting my standards high. I just don't see the direction the design is going (i.e. what's with the boxes around some window blocks?? Didn't we learn from this mess?). It's a bit of a dog's breakfast in my opinion and taking several steps backward to the towers of 5 years ago in Northdale...That all being said, it's more difficult to make the facades of a slab tower such as this more pleasing than a more slender point tower. They need to start with simplifying the design and increasing the amount of glazing.
The only thing I really like about it is how they've wrapped and concealed the above ground parking on the first few levels/building podium.
