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

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

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.

 

[Contra]

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?

Can't trust ads given half the buildings glow like they emit radiation.

Typical Concord BS. They skip certain floors and claim their buildings are taller than they actually are. Trust me, I know, I used to live in a Concord building. Although given that they have a tendency to skip all floors ending in 4 (in addition to 13 to appease non-Chinese superstition), I'm surprised they claim only 81 storeys for the 74-storey tower - it should be 83 (minus 4,13,14,24,34,44,54,64,74th floors).
