The cladding is so bad imo. Giving Soviet.

Soviet with random rectangles

Soviet would be an upgrade.

Considering its prime riverfront and LRT adjacent location, this one is a downer

Well, it will be completely overshadowed by Trumans pants before long! And possibly by whatever Cidex does with the Elbow Casino site.

I found the designer's inspiration for this exterior

Very disappointing for its location. Everytime heading southbound on McLeod there will now be a fist shake.

No matter how you look at it, this thing truly is exceptionally hideous.

Looks fine to me. Decent, even. Once it's surrounded by other high-rises and doesn't stand out so much, it will look fine and be a welcome addition to Calgary's urban fabric.

Lol... how on earth do you think this thing will ever be surrounded? It fronts onto a stroad, on a park facing the river, backed against a schoolyard, and a relatively recently built condo across the street

It will never be completely obscured, but overshadowed by much larger towers, which will put it into context in an interesting way.

calgary rule, if you can see it from all angles it’ll suck. though this isnt as bad, doubt it cracks the top 10.
