Have you seen this?

I walked by the construction site this afternoon. While I am excited about the project, love many things about the design, and realize it is still under construction, the appearance of the first five floors is ugly when looking up 15th Street from the corner of 15th and Chestnut. It reminded me of a 1980s prison built in the downtown of an economically depressed city like Pittsburgh or Scranton. I hope when the building is completed that this portion of it doesn't look this bad -- or maybe the effect will be lessened through distraction by the building front and the higher-up floors.
