Just some cell phone shots but it's nice to see they're following through on some of the smaller details from the renderings

I like this building. It’s really weird in a good way. Those orange fins are incredible.

But the ground level with these black and silver panels, the orange section, the jagged balcony section, the on but off kilter horizontal striping of the glass and balconies on the tower and the vertical lines seen on the mechanical box all combined are giving me an architectural vibe equivalent to the old Saved by the Bell tv show intro.

 
So the almost-leopard print design here is to my eye intimating mid-00's cougar stereotypes, but overall this looks awesome.

It actually doesn't read that way at all IRL; when you see it up close, it's actually plain silver, and the pattern just looks like the perforated metal that it is, rather than leopard (thankfully).
 
The pattern loooks almost giraffe-like, especially when combined with the orange fins above.
Lots of nice surprises and details in this building.
