They should have stopped either at the first angle or at the mech floors. Could have saved a ton of money and trouble and would have looked better.

That damn louver is the defining feature of this building now lol.

I drove by yesterday, heading East on 9th Av, and I tell you I saw a number of missed opportunities. I'm not sure what program lies behind the acres of spandrel along 9th, but that sloped roof line could have been programmed in my mind as a pretty exciting outdoor space, maybe even terraced with seating, and a green space etc. Actually, the initial renderings show a series of court yards between the tower base and the "ski jump" adjacent to 9th Av, and I actually don't think that is the case anymore. I think they roofed over everything. I couldn't take a picture.

Absolutely hideous.
What a lazy effort by all those involved.

Wow! I thought the podium was bad. The crown is absolutely terrible. Honestly, who designs this shit and gets away with it?

could that at least be painted a matching colour?

Colour match to what? The five different colours of spandrel? I kid

 

[Nimbus]

Brutal, what are the chances we get clear glass on that top section for lighting?

 

[Mountain Man]

None, it's spandrel right to the top. Give this one a 3/10 now. Just brutal!

Sigh... When I bought in Riverwest, with a south view, I knew these towers were approved and would one day take away my mountain view. But I thought, that's okay, look at what I will be looking out onto, a clear glass greenhouse of trees:

Well, not quite as advertised. Good news is, I am not on a floor as high up as these are, so I just need to train myself not to look up too much.....
