Yes, the more the merrier. I'd like to see a video of Brookfield Place. Just saying.

Why.... WHYYYYYY.... WWWHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY couldn't the mullion caps just match the colour of the spandrel!?!?!?!? This is actually worse quality than Vantage Pointe. I would rather it not have been built.

Yeah this is one of those towers is best viewed at high speed or without your heavy-prescription glasses. At a distant hazy glance, it almost comes together, but the more you look at it the more questionable it becomes. The endless amounts of material and colors variations... the explosion of mullions... and what is up with the brown stucco at the top? Was that portion transported from some suburban mid-rise?

Other than the added density for the neighborhood, this one blows.

And finally getting the sidewalk back is quite nice, 8 years now since the original Astoria started?

Edit: Yup about 8 years, here's an old flashback:

The top of versus has LED lighting at night now, it changes colours blue green, etc. looks OK. I am more of a fan of the traditional a plating look but at least the LEDs work for now

I didn't see the lights on last night, but will check again sometime and try to snag a pic.

 

[Surrealplaces]

Here are some pics of the lights....in all different colors for your viewing pleasure.

The lighting give some nice colour to the sky in that part of the beltline

Lipstick on a pig, but at least it's Mac lipstick.
