The colonnade is unfortunate. I'm indifferent to the mechanical penthouses. Much worst things about the project and, I'm not sure spandrel glass would have been better than the precast to hide all the equipment. Then , again, I don't find X condo's elevator overrun noteworthy either. Two Infinities side by side is surprisingly better than one especially with Ice and the rest in behind.

I don't think the Libfelds cares too much about The Conservatory Group. The marketing, everything, just seems so dated and amateurish. Too bad.
 
While I do agree the mechanical penthouse on Infinity 2+4 (shorter bldgs.) is poorly designed, I really don't think the Infinity buildings complex are out of place in the area judging from the composition of the towers now in the area

Yesterday, focusing on the sidewalk and PATH (from at the outside) along the south side of the site:

Not sure why so many are complaining about the look of these buildings. I like how they turned out and they go well with the surrounding buildings.
