Gorgeous building. Looking forward to this!
Big meh. Renderings get building geeks going and I appreciate that, but it's been proven time and time again that renderings are 200 - 700% better looking than the real life version. That is very lazy in terms of checking boxes to value engineer a project in a way that gets people going in board rooms with renderings.

It's a little curved with some big windows in a couple places with a "Deerfoot casino" style front facing facade of boredom where most people will be looking at it from. I've seen a million renderings in Calgary alone like this one that people get excited about and it turns to absolutely nothing in terms of looks in our city.

It's simply a value engineered design where owners will make their money.
