I don't understand the objection to the building either. I mean, it's small and modest in design, but that's why it works. The glass is a beautiful facade to have on King Street (especially that section) and at night time it'll let out a nice amount of light. The concrete on the sides of the building are nice and warm looking despite being quite bold, and they match aspects of the neighbouring office tower nicely. I really think the design was intentionally supposed to match the neighbouring 305 King. 305 is of the modernist era, but it looks exceptionally contemporary for something built in the 1960s and so having 345 King be visually similar is a good design plan. It suits the area it's in and shall look pretty good from any angle. I'll be curious to see the inside of it, because atmosphere is particularly important to get right in an office building.
