It's not as nice as the original design, I suppose, but IMO there is no doubt that this is in the top 2 nicest new residential developments in the city in the past 20 years.
In the photo's of the city from across the bay (Guessing the vicinity of the RBG or Aldershot), the skyline is starting to look more prominent now, with the new builds taller than 20 floors that have gone up on the west side of downtown...I like it!
They have removed the silver panels and are now trying white to match the white strip that goes all the way up
Awesome!
I still hate that concrete wall on the podium in the last drawing though.. why they didn't continue the stone and glass facade onto this side of the building is unsettling..
Dare I say, I think the white looks better, and honestly, kind of gained some respect changing it to look better.

I live close enough to see this from our bedroom windows and the white is WAY better
You know if it wasn't for the white this building would just sorta fade into the bg - the white on glass def. helps it to pop - hope future projects take this into consideration.
Yes, that podium is like a massive WWII bunker. Perhaps they can turn it into a green wall or maybe add some decorative iron work? That would be nice...
