It'll depend on how well it's put together, as in whether there are obvious gaps between panel sections or misalignments. Builders regularly screw that up. The long term quality of the materials will be something to also look out for. I'd say the majority of new builds in the region are visibly worn even though they've only gone up in the last couple years. If you walk around Waterloo, you quickly see how haphazardly the vast majority of buildings have been thrown together but it's true all over the region. The issue with that is they don't only visibly begin to deteriorate and show flaws, but they begin to take on structural ones too.
It's way too early to tell how this will turn out. I am still extremely skeptical. Remember this is IN8...it's the exact same architects, designers, engineers, builders etc who did the Duke Tower disaster. The design of this one is not as offensive to the senses, but I will not be surprised if they manage to screw quite a few things up.
