Not horrible, but not great either. They should have incorporated more decorative/intricate brickwork. That would have greatly improved the design. It looks like they decided to forego the cornice (?) that was in the renderings. The street presence is awful on the one side.
It was passable with the cornice work. now its just 90s-awful
Removing the cornice was a really detrimental blow. Chintzing out on that was a mistake. Also the brick work in reality doesn’t have the more expensive looking dark tone from the renderings. The whole project looks pre-fab.
