I don't mind the uniformity with the earlier Quad phases too much. Been a while since I've been up there but the retail spaces being pretty much all filled up along Pond Road was a positive to see.

My problem w/it is that I don't like any of what they've built. They all feel to hulking and too cold.

They could be mistaken for suburban office space. In more contemporary architectural terms, they mimic everything that's always been wrong w/York's campus: Cold, sterile, anti-people, dull.
 
The bigger issue is that The Pond Road in that area isn't pedestrian friendly. It's too wide and dark.
