444 SF units? Clearly they aren't marketing this to the Chinese!

Anyway I'm not too thrilled about these towers. It just screams out cheap. The floor plates of the two towers are just replicas of each other and they're symmetrical about the north-south axis. There's no interesting design about then, just cookie cutter. I guess it may be unfair to judge the design based solely on the floor plates, but then again the architect is James Cheng. In light of all this, the flip side of the coin is affordability, hopefully. A 444 SF unit is definitely going to lose some market value.

Frankly given the convenient access to Richmond, I would think they could market this to asians who seem to prefer (or are able to afford) nicer and larger units.

Owell, my main gripe is the repetitive design of the towers. Hopefully the city will demand some changes to the design, but given how Marine Gateway as turned out, I'm not counting on that.
