The streetfront treatment is better than the previous design, and for a project like this that is the most important thing!

 

[Cowtown]

I really like podium of this one. Tower portion is solid. I think I may even like the tower portion better than the previous design.

The only thing to complain about with this one is the loss of Buon Giorno.

Grade level of this design is nicer than the last one. The upper levels of the previous design was never going to look like that anyway. Was such a magic trick rendering.

Agreed. I recall hearing that the old design was more of a concept design not a true rendering of an actual plan. Same for the Fishman Proposal, it was a concept rendering and not an actual rendering of a plan.

This proposal looks good in my opinion I really like it. Checks all the boxes, and has a cool podium to boot.

I hope that Buon Giorno can reopen in this after.

 

[1875]

not the best case scenario but still a good addition of density and hopefully retail.

 

[JoeUrban]

For those that hate this new design, what are your key complaints?

 

[UrbanWarrior]

Generic, suburban, stucco (I know it shows brick but we all know it will be VE'd to stucco), hardie-board, generally hideous, too prominent of a location for something to ugly… lemme think on other aspects.

I do like the Art Deco-esque curves into the main lobby so at least that's… something.

 

[BKha]

I'm happy with this design as shown in the rendering. If it gets VE'd, than who can say, but as it is now in the rendering it looks good to me.

ASI are cheap, probably the next cheapest behind Cidex. I’ll give them credit that they do generally have good street level interaction on their projects, a million times better than Cidex, but their material choice generally sucks. If the materials are good and higher end than this should actually be kind of nice. If they VE this thing than it will fall flat and be a disappointment like many projects in the city at the moment.

 

[Colinfill]

Not bad and at least Socality House and Lang's Grocer survive

 

[Mountain Man]

Never heard of DAAS before, but they appear to do good work!

If I were a betting man I would say that the brick shown on the upper portion will end up as paneling, but I would also bet that the podium will be brick as shown in the rendering.
The upper portion I don’t care that much about as long as the podium is brick I’ll be happy with this project

This is a major upgrade on the Fifth. I was expecting a lot worse for AS. Colour me happy.

 

[Joborule]

Me and Lorenzo chillin' in the Enzo.
