Soon we will be sicked of this lowrise clones. Like those colorless condos in metro Vancouver, they all look the same.

Actually, I like this particular building; it relates well to the street. And while I love watching a tall tower going up, I think for the most part mid-rises are the way to go, especially for residential developments.

Brightening the street!

Colorful lowrises seem to be the trend now.

I am partial to mid-rises in general, and like this one very much in particular. It really brightens up this somewhat dreary part of the street... there are many dreary streets that can benefit from buildings similar to this one.

I don't care for the lime green and orange the building's form is nice, and the extra retail on E Hastings is a bonus.

You may be right about the color but for me, with some color on the building is better than without any color.
