wow what a hideous facade, looks like a student building from King St north

Not as bad as the student housing. Now keep in mind, this project started over a decade ago, and what looked good back then, doesn't look all that great today.

I'm well aware, and actually more like 15+ years. This is the downside of the city approving a master plan that was designed at once by the same architect instead of stipulating more variety for subsequent buildings and maybe further consideration before construction.

Admittedly it's the back of the building, not the front.

Good buildings have attractive facades on all elevations, especially when they are this tall and visible from every side. No building in this development has a back, actually.
