The reason i beg to differ is that the street level facade is quite nice. There is a assortment of brick and stone and there will be quite some nice retail space on the ground floor. I will try take some pictures when i pass by again but it truly isn't some monstrosity to be avoided.
haha there is an assortment of randomly picked brick and stone colours that complement each other like oil and water. Developments like these frustrate the hell out of me. I get Dewlo is looking to make a cheap rental, but the tower in the parks of 60's look better then this piece of shit. You can develop a nice looking tower with cheaper materials. I am pro-development most of the time, but projects like this give the NIMBY crowd a weapon to use when opposing a development. I wouldn't want to look at this building every day. I have said it before, but I continue to be baffled by how bad most of the developments are in this region. I get we are not toronto, but Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, hell even Hamilton get much better designed buildings. There have been a couple recent proposals in Kitchener I am excited for, unfortunately i would be surprised if 25% of those towers actually get built in the next decade.
