I actually don't dislike it that much. It gives it a different character from that view. I do wonder if the architects were intentionally trying to echo the COB though.
Fun fact about the pawn shop building next to the Astra site: it was formerly the
Empire Theatre, the first movie theatre in SLC.
Also, I still can't see your images Orlando. Could you use imgur instead of imagebb?
Edit: Also also, it strikes me that the newest design of the Regent Street tower sorta resembles/mirrors Astra.
