Office (NW) is glass boxy, looks like a curtain wall. Has two different glass styles it looks like (north and south). First looks uber transparent, with a slight blue tinge and goes up two stories more, other is more green, with differently coloured glass "(slightly lighter than base glass) elements breaking up the glass façade. Imagine a putting two boxes together with one protruding higher than the other.
Residential towers are kind of a modified polygon, so not a straight box. Almost like a rhombus or something. Protruding balconies. Masonry townhouse at the base.

Sounds promising...

Your description of the office building reminds me of the TCPL building downtown. I always felt that one was a neat idea but poorly executed. Hopefully this proposal pulls it off a bit better.

Sounds solid. Either way this is a big win for East Village if it goes ahead. I think this will be enough to form the critical mass needed for the neighborhood if no other developments go ahead.

Someone went rollerblading in the New Horizons Mall, looks like a blast!

What a disaster! Would be a cool spot to film the walking dead! Just a little too clean though.

Looks good for the most part.

Usually the concepts are a lot better than a place ends up getting... and that's not very good, so I'm not super hopeful.
It reminds me too much of the Ice District (cold and sterile) which I'm not a fan of. If there's a farmer's market going in, it might have some potential.

Along 12 ave, I agree that it's your typical arena, but along 14 ave, it looks like it'll be a lot more engaged with street, and may have business on the perimeter of the building.
