Today.
 
...that precast on the side has those Brutalist ridge thingies embossed on it. I'll try to take snap shot off that tomorrow if I can remember.
Thanks to Mr. Benito beating me to it, this is what I was talking about! <3

But in all seriousness, this thing already looks fantastic. The massing and the gestural stepping looks even better in person. The precast is the cherry on top so far.
Not sure what you're getting at...Lanterra generally has an excellent track record in terms of spending on design and architecture.
 
That Shiu Pong built condo in the mid-ground was a missed opportunity to have an epic flatiron building in that location.
Agreed, Toronto has so few non right-angled corners (thanks to our grid system), especially downtown. That building is not terrible by Shiu Pong standards, though ...
