6550 Sherbrooke St. Ouest. The place is teeming with cockroaches.

It is all one building, even though it looks like two buildings

The bigger the building, the smaller the suites

"Edmonton Clinic Health Academy" at the University of Alberta actually. It's not the best, but definitely not the worst. At least there is more colour than your typical institutional building.

Luka Magnotta's apartment (where he murdered and dismembered his victim) was on the second floor (just like the song goes):

Looks wider than Mayfair Place. Speaking of wide buildings, the suburban equivalents to Commie Blocks are even worse.



Spanning entire city blocks and even more soulless.

French isn't much better though as "The Dollar Flame". Is Flamme in Quebec translated differently?

Ontario's still manage to look better if for no other reason than materials. Calgary uses the absolute cheapest and shittiest materials on our buildings. At least you guys have brick.

I cannot understand how this design of apartments got so popular.


The colors never look good together.


It would be less offensive if these were not everywhere (I just posted images from 2 cities now)
