Urbannizer 44142 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share 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.

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigFootsSocks 3179 Posted September 25, 2015 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

AREJAY 1312 Posted November 23, 2015 Share 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.

WOW! Gargantuan is a great word to describe this.

WestUdweller 126 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Work has been slow at this one. Sure hope there is a grocer going. Lot's of rumblings in the past couple of years anyways. Might be the ugliest new apartment complex anywhere across town. Brown paint and hardiplank. Elan/Greystar/whatever should be ashamed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. It needs to be able to age gracefully.
