BigFootsSocks 3025 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Sorry man, I honestly hate it. They could've done something really nice (brick or stone) on this corner but nope, this s*** is weak Edited September 25, 2015 by BigFootsSocks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urbannizer 41350 Posted September 25, 2015 Looks nice to me and from the rendering - the green is not used very much, but if majority of the building was that tone of green I wouldn't be too excited for the final outcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could've done something really nice (brick or stone) on this corner but nope, this s*** is weakThere are some excuses for this color. If it's Russia, the Victorian house calls for it in the color palette, or it's close to a natural body of water with an equally vibrate blue color.

BigFootsSocks 3025 Posted September 25, 2015 Wait, I'm on mobile so this epics aren't that big, but is that just the underlining insulation board or whatever that I see so much of? That would explain my hatred. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AREJAY 1214 Posted November 23, 2015 Do we know what that rooftop terrace / floor on top of the parking garage, facing downtown, is going to be?I looked through the renders and couldn't see it drawn up anywhere.  This would be cool if it's going to be a bar / restaurant.  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Â Â Gargantuan is a great word to describe this. I frequently ride the 85 bus past this and it is certainly an imposing structure compared to the surrounding buildings in the area. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WestUdweller 123 Posted February 1, 2016 Work has been slow at this one. Â Sure hope there is a grocer going. Â Lot's of rumblings in the past couple of years anyways.

That roundabout is very cool - needs a refresher. I do really like how the 4 neighborhoods come together there. Hopefully this building has a good presence.
