Sorry, when you said ominous, that's the first thing that came to my mind

Wouldn't take a lot to change this into the world biggest PACMAN.

While far from amazing this is turning out better than first feared. That grade level actually looks OK now.

What's curious about G+C is that since they do enough AoR work for other firms, you'd think they might learn from others' ideas, designs, and details and improve their own.

And yet...

The podium would have looked so much better with the red brick. It just lacks warmth as it is.

Seriously, what's with this city's obsession with this dark grey stone/brick? I'm so tired of it. Let's get back to reds and browns PLEASE!

And what about glazed brick, clinker brick, terracotta panels, copper, stained glass, leaded glass, titanium, granite, limestone, brass, and/or tile mosaics? Surely, builders could have some more fun with this stuff.

All about the bottom line. A lot of those materials/treatments impact the bottom line so they're not as popular.

The last floor window walls are about to be installed. Hopefully it will be done by the end of this week. This project can't move fast enough.

It'll stand out less when owners begin occupying their units.
Unimpressed by this building all in all.

It feels like they're trying to give the illusion of two separate towers, but it just looks awkward.

So many of these projects seem like the condo equivalents of really bad dressers.

I love the cladding on the south and east sides. There needs to be more patterns/variation on these condo towers.
