The problem with driving piles is that they seldom go in straight. It's fine for a foundation but, a shoring wall has to be straight and level.

Excited for this development in west Beltine/borderline west downtown.

Can't control my hate here, though. The above photos really hit it home that colour can't be used as a design solution for architectural variation, materiality, articulation at this scale. The Metropolitan is a stain. Plain and simple. We need the razzies for architecture locally
 
Too much grey on the Metropolitan. The ground floor should be taller and the 2nd and 3rd floor design dropped. I still wouldn't call it a stain. It provides some much appreciated contrast to the blandness of 11th and 11th.
 
Pretty fair to say this one is underway now. The western side of the skyline is really starting to beef up with Versus West, The Royal, Fifteen15, West Village, and this one. Pretty dang cool!
 
I like it.

I agree, it's not pretty, but it's different, and the shades and colours break up what is a massive street wall. What I'm nervous about in terms of the guardian, is when they start patching the EIFS, I doubt they will match the colours well and it will quickly look quite ghetto.
