Agreed, good design doesn't have to be expensive, there are ways to build an attractive building keeping costs in check.^Always makes me happy to see new developments in and around Chinatown, I just wish the design was a bit nicer.
^ An empty field and a seniors residence is there right now, this would be a huge improvement.
