Glass and spandrel on the podium could be better. Thankfully it’s pretty dark at least.

This has great presence on the corner — some low quality in the details, but the geometry's good.

The dark cladding on the tower is decent, but the brown podium is a huge letdown.

Disappointing. I just don't get why they went so cheap here.

The podium and tower should have been black or dark brown in colour. According to the rendering in my opinion.

Because Sherbourne & Wellesley isn't exactly upscale. And because developers know that everything and anything sells in this town. And because investors don't care about quality materials on building exteriors, or even building interiors. Still, this building is a marginal step up from the no-name gas station that was there before.

Not all builders think like that. While the bottom line is the most important thing, some builders at least try to build something that is attractive. The rental building by NoFrills used better building materials. What does that say about this builders lacklustre attempt?
Yes it’s better than the gas station but is that’s a really low bar.
