My gripe is with the glazing - too reflective, and don't care for the contrast in the two tones. Maybe it will look better in the summer when it reflects the greenery? Otherwise, it's a bit dated design-wise
(reminds me of our TD Tower which was built in 1991!)

...but I'd be fine with it if it had more transparent glazing. Still, you're right - better than a parking lot, and I do not mean to complain about a 560-footer.
I think Jamieson will look good at night though, when the "racing stripes" will actually serve a purpose - namely accommodating those LED's that will run the full height of the building. In fact the night-time rendering looks promising:
