This really is such a 'blah' building - better than being 'in your face ugly' but it COULD have been SO much better - with very little more effort.

I think Daniels Waterfront got away with murder in comparison to this...and those two uggos are way taller

Agreed, the Daniels towers are ghastly and far worse than this blah 'thing'.

Thats why I dont mind this development...even though this could be far better. I give this a pass only because its smaller and less ugly.

I think this one is way worse. The grey and white looks really cheap and ugly in person. The street level looks like it's going to be completely stupid. The building is a total dump. The other towers have some precast brick and a passable street level and the worst buildings are in the back and partly hidden by balcony glass. Maybe there needs to be a poll to get to the bottom of this.

I'll admit my opinion is based on images, and no actual in person experience of walking around the buildings. But I do like the expression of white frames, especially from the last image. At least from a distance, this looks much better than the Lighthouse buildings, which remind me of any generic housing development from the last 70 years, just with grey tones instead of warm toned cladding.
