They're not bad looking, but it definitely would have looked better with some more texture and colour, like that brick. Currently it doesn't look too dissimilar to one of those 70s concrete towers that have been getting repainted in black or white around the west end

Some renters may think the brick looks dated. ie like the brick residential and office blocks along Hornby and Howe.

These would have stood out a lot more if they stuck with the original brick facade. Shame.

Not surprising at all they revised it. That much brick would have been way too expensive and time-consuming to build.

The original design wasn't brick - that was an interim version. The 2017 design looked like this.
