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.

I understand the frustration, but most of CMLC's projects usually gets built fairly closely to what they present publicly. I suppose I'm more pragmatic than you in this regard; I feel the end result will be fairly close to what you see here.
'Deerfoot Casino' made me laugh too, thanks haha.
