It's not what we think, it's what prospective tenants think. And not enough of them liked the old look, it would seem.

Or at least the owner didn't think that prospective tenants would like that look.

But there is also the maintenance aspect. As I posted earlier in this thread, the brick has been deteriorating significantly in some areas (there are some photos, too). Doing a "proper" repair with brick, that would be effective and still good, might be significantly more expensive than doing a brute-force repair that needs to be covered with paint. No facts on this, though, just speculation.
