Yeah I’m not sure I trust RNDSQ to do the Inglewood project anymore. I really like their Bridgeland project but that’s about it. This does not look anything like the front page render.

It will take the community share of lightning strikes. Looks quite similar to grain bins I built one summer.
I'll have to see it all when it's finished to get a better idea. It's a lot of that one type of material, but I still like the fact that it's different.

Very disappointed with this one so far, looking more like stacked sea cans with each new picture. Might be better once it's finished still, but this isn't looking good now. This is a perfect example of disingenuous renders if I've ever seen one, this looks nothing like what we saw. Clearly they designed the exterior without knowing what cladding they were using.

No developer is perfect, RNDSQR included, but I generally disagree.
I like that it's substantially different and I'm excited to see how it turns out.

I will wait to see the finished product, but right now it looks like this building is going to be a huge eyesore in the community; a lightning rod that will be used against the project down the street to try and kill it. Which is a shame, because I typically really like RNDSQR's stuff.
Hopefully there are a few more decent tenants going in to the building to make me forget about how much worse it looks than the renders. A diner and a growler bar is a decent start

As I said: very aggressive building. It's not going to be as nice as the renderings, but it still could be very iconic (perhaps even more so given the daring choice of cladding). It's like a massive take on Frank Gehry's house.

No worse than the noise during Calgary’s every day.

I think it all depends on how much light gets through the perforated panels. If the effect is noticeable it could be cool, if it's minimal it will just look like corrugated metal still.
