I feel like the price for a one-bedroom is a bit steep with this.

This actually turned out better than I expected lol. Not sure what it is about tacky, old looking designs and Chinatown...
In most areas of the city it would stand out as ugly or not fitting in, and TBH I don't mind that the newer Chinatown developments have some kitschyness. It makes Chinatown feel a little more like Chinatown...certainly more than buildings like the previous Friendship Centre or the Ampersand Buildings.

i find it looks worse in pictures than in real life. was kind of surprised the first time i saw it completed. not saying i love it but can live with it, esp in the context.

Love the variety it adds to the neighbourhood.

I agree - In person the completed street wall and full lot coverage really makes it. I like it - mostly boring and forgettable, but with a bit of flair and a decent ground floor. Urban cities across the planet have thousands of buildings like this, and we’d be better off if we did as well.

Vox has a great video on the reason why most Chinatowns across the world have a similar aesthetic that look nothing like current designs going up in modern China
