^^ The overview video for the Simpson Querrey Biomedical Research Center says phase 2 is a 600' tower. Anyone know anything more about that? Are they just adding the floors on top of this phase at a later time?

Barf. This looks like something that would be built on LSD circa 1973.

Yeah the tower is such a garbled mess where there are blank walls, split up windows, and floor to ceiling windows. It's like they had 3 people design one building using the least brain power possible and cheapest materials imaginable. Worst tower in this cycle by far IMO

Are you kidding me? This building is elegant and harkens back to the best of mid-century apartment towers.

The colors of brick and windowframes really gel nicely as well.

Not sure what blank walls you are upset about... but the one in this photo needs to be there for fire code reasons. The tower directly abuts the fugly building to the south (The Hensley) so a blank wall is unavoidable. Looks like they were able to get windows at a higher level by purchasing an easement.
