It looked like something that could have been built anywhere, and might be more suited to a less dynamic and iconic city. Now for me, it incorporates just the right amount of non-glass facade elements and also borrows some architectural influences from the Rittenhouse Hotel, which I think we can agree is the quintessential Ritt Square high-rise.
I'd say aside from the loss of height (which is much less noticeable than I was expecting), it's a marked improvement.  |
Agree 1000%.
There was nothing particularly notable about the previous facade except that it gave most on this board a major height —.
It looked like a SunTrust Bank building you'd see in Charlotte.
