This design reminds me a bit of the old one for the JW Marriott. I like the color and materials. This is also complementing Hyatt Place next to it nicely. The garage section steps down from the Hyatt, almost making it seem they're the same structure.

Maybe these Hanover towers are a little copy+paste, but they're all handsome point towers and IMO they keep getting better, this one really looks like the materials will be top notch.
Yeah, I think this is going to be a good one. Those panels over the garage levels look both modern for being metal panels and traditional. I was noticing they complement the brick around the street level pretty nicely.
This also got a 2 foot height bump from 511 feet to 513 feet according to the site plan that was posted again to the AULCC page this week.
The backup file for this was also posted to the Design Commission website this week with the renderings seen in the Towers article and a few more colorized elevations showing it at 513 feet.
Copy+paste, nothing special, but it's handsome and nicely designed. I prefer this kind of copy/paste than those awful poverty siding hotels we've been getting around downtown lately (hotel indigo, homewood suite etc)

I know it, and I agree. Happy to have all 3 copies in our city. Just have to keep drizzling out my bad sim city 2000 jokes as they occur to me.
New elevations dated 07/31 were added to the site plan. No major changes from the first elevations are obvious. The panels on the parking podium moved around a little, and the balconies look slightly different.
Hanover filed for an expedited plan (ePlan) review this week. That's a premium service that the City offers for developers that want to speed up the approval/permitting process. Most projects don't have ePlan filings which would indicated that Hanover wants to get this project moving. ePlans are typically filed while the site plan is under review which is the case with this project. The eplan along with Hanover's track record give me high hopes that Covid might not get in the way of this project.
