I'd say the only difference is that the wood accents on the columns make them look way beefier in real life than in the rendering

The white, black, etc panels have no seams and look very computer ish. Also the black panels have a thickness to them in the renders. Where as they do not in real life. Unless some type of covering will be installed.

Getting pretty nit picky with the renderings these days haha Some of the old renderings are basically cartoons.

that is a beauty pic, unfortunately the reflection in the water is NOT a pond, river or lake but a giant crater parking lot!

The space between the two towers seems exaggerated from so far away.

You know what would make 300 Main awesome?

A big red CanadInns spotlight. I know they don't have a solid wall, but maybe they could suspend a huge slab of plywood on one side.

Based on what we've heard about the size of the rooms and the finishes, that would actually not be that crazy an idea... Maybe the Earls can be converted an Aaltos?

Seemed funny to be walking thru the mall today @ lunchtime and seeing the customers of Goodlife working out on the bikes while looking down into the mall
