This building is decent. The architect, Garrett Gourlay, is also designing the 48 story tower at 111 Washington Street.

Wood!!? How will it age?

A partial wooden facade was incorporated into the Max Mara store on West Broadway at Prince a few years back (below). The result was pretty stunning when it first went up, but the wood isn't aging as well as could. As anyone who has wood siding on their house knows, wood needs on-going maintenance (unless you like that greyish, splotchy look).

The wood veneer utilized on Vesta24 is neither on a wood core nor solid wood, it is in fact a high-density panel composed of a thermosetting phenolic resin-bonded cellulose fibre core faced with natural wood that has been coated with formulated acrylic resin-PVDF protective finish.
