Sometimes we need good background fabric buildings to make the landmark ones stand out. This is one of them. Too much flashiness means too much noise- if everything's flashy, nothing is.

I also agree. It turned out much better than anticipated, and is very easy on the eyes.
 
Every time I plan to walk over and take a look at this it rains, but I'll get there. From the great photographs I really like the brick base and restored Planning Mill building, the glass tower above is OK, average glass, not altogether unique but not bad - frankly, I find myself more concerned and drawn to the Scientology building.

Core does good building. The guys at UrbanCapital know what they're doing too. Without shouting look at me, Nicholas is a handsome presence.

They've matched the gray spandrel well with the windows here; the degree of reflectivity helps the spandrels blend in and enhance rather than flatten and detract.

I see this project everyday, and I've always thought it looked quite good. Not iconic by any standard, but it blends in well and doesn't hurt to look at. Overall a solid B+ when you factor in the well handled podium!
 
I wonder if the city and the architects realized how close the door overhang would be from the streetlight. I saw it yesterday and it's can't be more than 6 inches or so.
