Oh thank god.
THANK. GOD.
I am so glad to see this building finally getting the restoration it so sorely needed - it woulda looked so weird and dated next to the new towers otherwise.
And rip that stupid veneer and cash money sign off the building beside it and as they said "bring some class back to the gore" - that's exactly what the gore should be all about - old architectural class mixed in with the new.
I am wondering how much of the original facade is left under the horribly dated veneer. Honestly, from what this building used to look like to what they turned it into was an atrocity imo. I kept looking at it PRAYING that someone would restore it. This will tie in really nicely with the right house architecture as well and frame the modern towers very well in between!
And it's so nice to see CORNICES go back up! Cornices on an old building are like the dentures in a classy old lady. - aside from false shutters it's one of the only things one can put on an old building to really dress it up
THANK YOU Core Urban, as well as LIUNA, for consistently providing high quality projects to this city! *BOWS*
Looks like the glass on the first floor will be higher than it originally is right now too - which means they will be lifting it up a bit higher into the facade... I am VERY interested to see this develop! Ooooh it's so EXCITING to see old style buildings get a new facelift and design while still maintaining that heritage look and feel to them
And the bannister railing at the top - you just don't SEE that LEFT on any of the old buildings anymore - that's the royal treatment right there! I SO hope the Right Houses' is restored someday..
The downtown is gonna look so SEXY once everything is done - what with the heritage features across the street now being preserved
Also that's a HUGE overhang on that cornice next door to it - almost like a marquee.. I am surprised they got permission to put it on..
