Not a fan of this builder but can say that this actually looks better than expected.

The scale of these scream Hong Kong. The maple motifs wisper1990s Air Canada livery

And I grew up in Hong Kong which is part of why I think I like them.

Edit: the podium is still gross tho

I think more than the gimmicky maple leaf motif and sheer heights of these towers, the standout feature here is the heater on the balconies that would prolong their use by maybe 3-4 months.

The mechanical section breaks up what would have been a relatively elegant massing. They better have some sort of lighting to emphasize that maple leaf motif because it's a hot mess at the moment.

Ads I've seen on Instagram show the leaves lit up.

AFAIK, external lighting is part of the art component:

With towers standing at both 81 and 79 stories respectively, Concord Canada House
will feature a large illuminated Maple Leaf located on the building facade with this CCH will surely standout
amongst Canada’s greatest landmarks.

Maybe at night this will end up looking decent.

Probably going to be harder to see with interior lighting on but we'll find out soon enough.

@interchange42 is exasperated by "it's vs its" ... but for me it's ... "storeys vs stories". Why can't a marketing team working in the building biz get that right?

And when did these towers grow to 81 and 79 stories storeys?
