If the concrete bits can suddenly change colour to white, or black, that building might look alright.

i was thinking the same thing. even a vibrant colour like yellow or red would be welcome.
i guess they coud always paint the vertical concrete parts.
 
Even if they just clean the concrete panels, would look better than now.

I want you to picture what red-painted concrete would look like up the sides of this tower, and reconsider your suggestion. :p

If you look at the north-east corner, you will see colour test strips on the concrete pillar where the cafe use to be.

CondoLife, October edition, has an advertising-article about this tower. It is beside the ad for Cumberland Tower that will sit beside it.

Hi, out of curiosity, what colors are being considered here? I am curious if all the concrete was painted black, how that would look? Would it make the building look sharper (with the new steel framed windows)? Black would work best, I would think.

So terribly disappointing to see what purports to be a low end project in such a high end neighborhood. This is basically a de facto statement that as of today the high end condo market in Yorkville is officially dead.

Nevertheless I can't fault the developer for trying to maximize its return on the site. This remains a business decision first and foremost and I think that the regrettable architecture in the rendering reveals no less.
 
There was white paint up on the concrete pillars which jut out from the ground floor today. Sorry, no photos.
