...it's very apparent that the owners/developers of this tower are embarrassed of this tower's legacy as we are of alterations they've made in attempt to cover that up. /sigh

I don’t feel it was ever an outstanding example of commercial brutalism, but its brutalist legacy was sullied long, long ago. Even before the new facade, they got rid of the POPS courtyard on Bay (now I believe where Indigo lives). From the pictures I’ve seen, it was quite remarkable, and certainly made the building fit better at street level with the rest of it.
