Hopefully they will finish the undersides of the balconies

I am surprised they could afford that - our Opera House couldn't.

I'm not a fan, I find the tower portion mediocre, and the red section of the base to be very sterile and institutional. But hey my opinion doesn't count at times I mean I am the only fan on here of the French Quarter.

Andrew you make some good points. Picture number 3 particularly highlights the institutional look of the base and I am not sure the entire thing is successful. But I will give it an A for effort.
The is a Core design and they have not always been successful, in my opinion, with their bases.
That being said Andrew, French Quarter is still a steaming load of shite.

^I think the buildings' bodies are pretty good representations but the rooflines and streetlevels are pathetic and/or cheap in appearance

Easily NYCC's best. I don't mind the institutional-looking podium either.

This is looking good. (awaiting urban_dreamer's comment on lack paint on underside of balconies)

From those angles the low rise section looks crooked.

That's because it is angled.

It really does look crooked beyond lens distortion, so it must be a subtle detail.
This one also gets the obligatory complaint about the utilitarian box on the roof.

I see what some of you guys are saying about the base/ entry... I could just picture a couple of medical clinics and a prescription drug outlet inside there! I really love the raised portion clad in the faux orange brick finish. I think that orange contrasts really nicely with the light aqua coloured glass... could easily see this fitting into downtown rather than NYCC.
