Imo it's a beautiful building that looks out of place in that location. It does look like a bit of a mess given how its just plopped in uptown with nothing else around it even remotely similar in building style. 

The other thing is this building has a massive base. Obviously I understand the concern with building large developments in KW still, but if this was 30 and 40 stories with a bridge on the 25th floor or something like that it would look way better and feel more balanced with the size of the podium

This is where I'm at. But I still support the project because the momentum has to start somewhere. Hopefully this project makes future projects easier to approve
