Personally I like it. I get the hate on for the parking podium. Although both side will see development in the future, so i am not worried. The proposal on the adult recreation site will cover that face of the wall entirely. so it is understandable that the developer didn't do much to make it appealing. I think that they should just commission an artist to do a mural on it and it won't be as offensive to some people on this forum. The curtain wall system is appears to be good quality. They went with black spandrel, which is always good when compared to the alternative options. (sea foam and Grey) The balconies are large and inset, so it doesn't have a bunch of useless tiny protruding balconies. The architect didn't do what it seem like every architect loved to do about 3 years ago and put a stupid hat on the building. The form of the building doesn't change with 6 floors to go. I honestly do not get the hate for this building. Yes it looked like a lot of concrete before they started painting, but its not finished.
