I hope your wrong Wasatch. I've liked most of the other renderings of the project, but this particular rendering is a gross misstep. They should never have released it in the first place, if they were actually trying to impress anyone. I'm hoping that the laughable rendering will result in a pleasant surprise when the actual Hotel is completed. I'm remembering one of the most demonstrated renderings of 222 S. Main, and how some of us had to talk a few people down from the edge of a cliff. When we could finally make out the actual tower, everyone was majorly relieved. I'm hoping the the quality materials that will be used on this project, and the piss poor rendering will result in a pleasant surprise for all of us.
Taking a second look at this rendering from this angle I realize how my past hopes were that Gateway's design was going to have a very historic quality to it. At least that's how Boyer presented in its initial drawings. I still have a pretty poor opinion of how Boyer finished the surfaces of Gateway. It seems like the current owners have a good feel for its resurrection. The way Gateway was going, anything that has happened these past couple of years since the new owners took over seems like a big plus.

I’m very much apposed to turning the depot in to a hotel and building that 8 story appendage there. They should tear down Megaplex 12 and build it there instead.
