OBP does look better in person and in the end we get a (very well designed) park, an 800 ft tower with no parking podium and a lot more apartments added to a somewhat sleepy corner of Streeterville.
I know I'm in the minority opinion here.

I'd say you are probably in the majority. Most people on SSP like OBP from what I can tell.
Honestly, OBP isn't a terrible building. It just looks really bland, although I'm hoping the crown helps with that. The fact that Related Midwest controls this project and has a history of cheapening out on materials and eliminating expensive design elements doesn't really help.
And to answer your question, I think I prefer the Apparel Center with its new blue paint job, although that may only be because its been yellow/tan for so long that anything different feels like an improvement.
