I disagree. For one, you're looking at something that has horrible CGI. It won't look anything like this.
Not only that, what are people looking for? Never mind that east-end DT Kitchener, except for the construction of Cameron Heights and the Market, has zero appeal at the moment. This project will change that. Drewlo, and some will think this is a bad thing, isn't cheap. So you will be getting quality renters moving to this part of town. This is NOT a housing project like the ones they put up in Shanghai or Moscow.
Amazing how quick people are to criticize this project but give zero input on what it should actually look like, or, for that matter, put one shiny nickel (since we can't use the expression "red cent" anymore) for any project in a near derelict part of town.
But again, once this thing is actually done, even without a single design change, it's going to look 10x better than the crappy CGI renders shown and a 100x better than what is there now.
I actually think this is a really valid point. I think it'll look better than the rendering. The red that looks like it doesn't fit will likely be brick, so maybe more muted?
