If I were to judge this building from pictures alone i'd give it a 6 or 7... but man, in person it's truly beautiful

very nice box 7.5/10

7/10

To paraphrase One Human from earlier, average building, great in skyline. I agree. Not a horrendous box, like the color and the lines, and the sheer height you feel by looking up at it from the base. Solid design, but not spectacular. (Does anyone find it humorous that a wine-drinker icon, Bank of Montreal, is headquartered in Toronto? So much for Quebec pride).

Its height is incredible ... but the design is rather unimaginative. It looks awesome at night though.

It's a nice box, but it doesn't pull-off the box as well as Aon. The horizontal banding of windows makes it look fatter. This is opposed to Aon, whose vertical striping slims the tower and makes it appear even taller, by making the floors less obvious it looses scale. I looks like it goes on forever. FCP doesn't do this, so it always appears to be 70 stories. 8/10

Pure classic and Toronto just wouldn't be the same withought it. I also love it to death!! 10/10
