Am I the only one who thinks this looks brutal? The massing is just way too much.

I've said before that I like the King St facade (still do), but that the rest of it, and especially the Caroline St facade, is nasty (still think so).

For me it's the massing that I don't like. The finishings look good, but the massing is off

Yeah. This is like a contemporary take on the really bad rectangular apartments that were built in the 1970s throughout downtown. It might not look so bad once it's done and as more things get built around it. But on its own, it is absolutely massive.

I think I'll reserve judgement until it's finished. I do agree that it would probably be nicer with a taller and more slender tower, but I think the finished product will probably still be pretty nice.
