One thing I find about those non-descript towers is they only look interesting if surrounded by older early 20th century masonry buildings. It's the contrast that makes them 'pop'. But once the downtown is all like that they lose the appeal For example the Seagram building vs the older towers...

I was half expecting that today's Barron building announcement would be that they were the first application for the grant lol

The first thing I'd like to see is widening of the sidewalks into the street vs waiting another 50+ years for all of the buildings built close to the road to be replaced.

I'd like to see this area as like East Village, South. South Village perhaps

Decided to give the 'paint removed' render another try based on the correct brick colour
