Despite the change in design, this one is still turning out very good.

Less than a year ago, it was an abandoned eye sore, looks like great progress to me! Different eyes see different things.

What a great update Surreal. The brickwork looks fantastic. If there's one thing that is bugging me it's the column diameter at the corner units. I'm wondering if they could have been a little more slender, given that it appears they have moved to steel structure above it.

Good catch @Beazley66 I never noticed those cement columns before. They are kinda cumbersome. Aside from that, the project as a whole is turning out very well.

SHould start seeing cladding soon! Hope it's as high quality as the brick!

Upper material installations underway. The colour looks good IMO. It’s hardy board, so not sure how it’ll look in 3 years, but otherwise a good colour combo.

Gross that looks bad. That really drops this project down a couple notches. The brick is excellent and they go and ruin the look with those cheap panels.

I don't think it looks that bad, will have to see it in person to really judge...
I think the colors are okay. What is neutral and can go with charcoal brick, and the red is a decent enough accent to the brick as well. My concern would be how the panels look in a few years, after seeing what has happened with those types of panels at other sites. In some cases they've faded severely - I don't know if it's related to the brand, or the material in general.

I would have gone with white acrylic stucco in this case.

I think that looks pretty good, Hardie is fine as long as it's not ruined by the trim or fasteners!
