Love the texture the balconies provide. This is a great addition to Tempe, even more if it's not 100% student housing.

So many things wrong with this photo. What's with the pink on the building on the right? Gleaming mid-rises next to one of the uglier mountain-ettes in the Valley, Christmas camels still on in February. That's not an ideal view to have in Tempe.

It's interesting to see Tempe midrises getting less and less value engineered. That Marriott is a prime example of the beginning of the recovery. I've been hoping ASU would renovate or at least paint the University Towers for a decade. Reindeer (camel) guy forgot to do his job this year :haha: |

Perhaps extrapolate on what exactly makes you feel "Gleaming mid-rises next to one of the uglier mountain-ettes in the Valley, Christmas camels still on in February." is indicative of "so many things wrong with this photo" . . . I mean, the phrase starts with a capital "Gleaming" and ends in a period after the word "February" indicating this must be a "sentence" but is clearly an incomplete combination of two random observations with no further detail or connecting point or information . . . is it that the "camels" as you call them are unsightly? The fact that you think the hill is ugly? That the building "gleam"? Are "gleaming" buildings a good or bad thing? lol Lots of questions based on your observation haha Also - did you move away 15 years ago? |
I agree with Ballister's observation. Ugly pink building, double tank gash on the mountain, Christmas camels. Where is he off base? Let's not forgot the f'n smog...

Those water tanks have been on a mountain for like 50 years. The last I checked the towers are just beige like everything else from that era...just in need of a power wash and the photo isn’t white balanced well.
And I get that these aren’t the best features, but they are far from anything new. There’s way more than there was a few years ago developed, And although I am definitely not alone and have a never really had much of an appreciation for the brown ugliness of the desert, there are a lot of people who do. Always have the perspective. |
The only thing I see bad about this photo is it is being viewed by a narrow lens that wouldn't show half of what the human eyes would see. Yea, there's a couple of water tanks on the mountain. Eh, doesn't bother me. I think Hayden Butte in between all of this urban development is one of the finer things of Tempe. Not a lot of cities have this kind of mix. :tup:

Oh. That was lost in translation.
It is a crummy photo to use as an advertisement. Sorry. |

It doesn't seem like much time as passed since I was buying a bong from Headquarters right on that corner. It sucked that it was a parking lot for so long, but it all seems worth it now. |
Street level presence on University is taking shape. I think it will be very well done.

The fence is down around most of the Union. I think the pedestrian experience all around the building will be very good.
