I have a feeling it'll look the best out of all the current projects. Duke Tower is just a glorified student condo since IN8 is doing it. Station Park is tricky to judge since we don't have the full site plan yet. City Centre might look good, though it is also an oddly large tower (in terms of width), however in terms of activating the street I think this (with Mayfair nextdoor) will do the best job. One Hundred+Glove Box should look pretty decent as well, but I suspect it won't engage the street too much and the buildings look like they're from the early 2000s. The others are all too mediocre to really consider. But, from an architectural design perspective, I think Charlie West looks the best...it's just a shame that the façade with the mesh didn't work out how it was supposed to.
