They're knocking down half of 300 Sherbourne for the courtyard but other than that it's a pretty exciting proposal. Love the masonry tower

Overall, I like the designs and proportions. Still, tan masonry is always hit or miss with me, as the buildings sometimes look institutional.

The mechanical penthouse also doesn't appear to have any masonry or even a complimentary colour, which is unfortunate. Utilitarian mechanical penthouses tend to mar otherwise good designs.
