I'm happy that the beautiful church directly to the north of this site is still visible plus will make a lovely backdrop to the little parkette and restaurant.

When I was here today, I realized that the building is too clean for its dystopian design. This design needs some grit and dirt to make it work.
So, I asked AI to distress the image. It failed. Then it failed again. After much cajoling it was able to produce this barely passable version of what should have been a very simple request. Watch your investments.

They should turn it into Chungking Mansions

They should have done the facade on the podium in a more weathered look in order to get it some depth ironically all of the little curbs that are built in Make this look worse

You could create this effect you are looking for in Photoshop or its alternative via its options of filters. You would have far greater control over what you are looking than asking some LLM that is a million years away from ever creating a Rembrandt or a Van Gogh ...So, I asked AI to distress the image.

...or alternatively, you could do what I do and use a pencil and paper.
Good brick staining or painting jobs use multiple colours to ape the natural variations in brick batches. Time to call the brick painters back for another few weeks' work.

A far better and more complete urban experience? Not possible, sorry.

From 4 days ago; I'm not sure if I can express any more disappointment than I have already in how poorly executed this project is. Heck, I compared the St. Patrick Parish, built between the 1880's and 1908 by Arthur W. Holmes, to this in the first two images (the former being built of Credit Valley Limestone and capped with Ohio Limestone), and it's just jarring how different these two buildings are.

It hits and misses for sure. I'm curious what the little parkette will look like. I must check to see if it is shown on the plans.

The Tower would have been half decent had they put any kind of effort into the podium I very much don't mind the tower portion of this mostly but the podium makes it feel like it was made by a 5th grader

The tower is nice but the podium is bafflingly bad. Appreciate the wider sidewalk for the streetcar stop, although having two stops so quick in succession seems redundant now.

I actually appreciate the parkette exposing the church from the corner - even if the "park" is uselessly small.
The tower and especially the podium is comically horrible.

I do too, but there's so much that could've been done to better design this and integrate it within the space adjacent to the church.
