I'll hold final judgement until the end, but in my opinion this risks turning into a super disappointing development. It seems like the massing is going to be overbearing due to insufficient step-backs and set-backs (not referring to the height). The paneling looks cheap and the colors (deep reds and deeper blacks) are clashing relative to the muted colors on the renderings. It just generally looks weak relative to the rendering, both in terms of cohesiveness of materials and general design.

The red was definitely not the colour I was anticipating.

How is this thing still not finished? Not in love with the finished product. Good filler for the area though!

Still going...

At this pace, the crew will be moving in after construction...

What a mess of materials lol. Don’t mind the massing and general layout of the building, but the facade leaves a lot to be desired.

Looks nice at night.

Should have gone with brick on the middle section.

If you look at the rendering on page one of this thread, it's sure looks more like brick than what the end result looks like

And IMO it’s even better at night in person than it does in the photos.

It is, although I wonder why all of the bloody lights are on, since it's not finished and they sure aren't making work-around-the-clock progress on it.
