Probably doesn’t need a thread, standard infill. But really great to see! Tons of these all over our city taking off.

Could be worse. I appreciate the increase in population density.

Here's hoping they can get some warm bodied suckers to take up accommodation there so they can start the next "phases."

Less is sometimes more. What did they have a buy one get seven colours sale at the paint store?

They probably should have stopped at two or three. It would have looked better.

 

[IanO]

Dat palette though... lord.

Still not a fan of the orange accents. Something about it just irrationally pisses me off.

I'm with you, @westcoastjos -- it just seems so arbitrary and so dominant. Not as bad on the lower section where it is a natural complement to the blue. I know this firm is a huge fan of the works of Piet Mondrian but this is largely a disappointment from any artistic perspective. We will have to wait while it goes through its wear cycle and is rehabilitated -- until then it is sunglasses when driving by.

This building already looks worn and dated, so will he interesting to see in 5-10 years when the colours start to fade and the stucco gets streaking everywhere...

Go oilers!

Honestly I betcha those units will have pretty low heating/cooling costs. If the units themselves are nice in the inside, and the prices are affordable, I could see it surprisingly becoming an attractive tower to rent in.

Yellowknife's new tallest was accidentally built in Edmonton.

Ditch the orange and it will be 100 times better looking.

I wear my sunglasses at night... that must be how the song came about

For me, it's the solid blue color mixing in with the two pastel-like colors as stucco looks very horribly with solid colors imo. The brown is acceptable with the grey/cream and light blue

As per the orange, with faux mullions between the panels with the same color would have made this affective as it would act as the unifying factor for the building, but this ensemble is something else... like ADD in turbo drive.
