I’m going to do something I’ve rarely had reason to in the past. Major props to Gibbs Gage for the design and detailing on this project. I’m really liking it. Current, (yet) classy but also just the right amount of uniqueness to be interesting.

Agreed, very happy how this turned out!

Will be kinda cool to watch the core-ten slowly rust out!

Ewww gross (core-ten).

Any chance those white squares will be illuminated?

Any chance those white squares will be illumininated?

From my observations of them putting the panels in I would say no as there's no cables running behind them and those are solid metal panels.

Right now the Cor-ten looks like the walls of a fast food deep fryer that hasn't been cleaned in awhile

Another lie from the renderings

Victim of VE I would guess.

Great facade, less thrilled about the big new layby.....

For a hotel I think a layby is a must!

I disagree - it's overkill to require a layby on a road that's already five lanes wide. It's bad urban design that creates an awful streetscape in front of an otherwise nice building.

There are several hotels downtown that function fine without having these massive laybys in front.

Going through them: which ones? I only can think of the holiday inn express which has no layby, dedicated all hours loading zone (the Ramada), or driveway.

Only the International and 5 didn't by a quick review, and they are were built as apartments, operated as hotels, and turned back into apartments. Perhaps a sign.
