Backside looks quite nice, due to the strength of the lines (though I wish the railings were more minimalistic and actually curved).

Frontside is interesting, but marred by the spandrel.
 
Love the colour palette, the materiality, and those balcony railings on the back side. The Avenue side is really let down by the fit & finish for me, though. All I can see are the mismatches where those angled pre-cast sections meet the horizontals.
 
That rust finish at grade really does look downright awful; what a huge miss at the most important part of the building. The colour is completely incongruous, which they may have been able to get away with if they'd gone with a a different material -- a corten product of some sort would've obviously been far superior -- and the paneling immediately to the north of the driveway entrance is particularly atrocious.

The signage also looks super budget -- what a thoroughly awful project from a details standpoint.
 
I mean the colour choices and signage are ugly YES but they definitely work in a retro Tupperware kinda way. I think the address in yellow on the rust actually really ties it all together.
