Not really liking the design. We have one of the most prestigious architectural schools in Canada in our region. What is with all these terrible brick work designs they build here, or the cheap stucco looking stuff they've put up at the Barrel Yards, which also dot the entire city (think the two out by Fairview Park Mall that went up ages ago)? Have any of you visited the architectural school in Cambridge? You can see dozens of amazing neo-modern building designs from students. It'd be nice to see some of their work translated to real life:

I know this is just a simple 7 floor condo but...it's along the main road downtown/uptown...some glass facades or more contemporary building materials would be nice. Something that says Waterloo Region is a technological and artistically innovative city. City Centre and One Hundred Victoria are the only two developments going up that are remotely architecturally pleasing. Everything else has this awful 1990s pseudo-post-modern look. This looks similar to One Victoria which to be honest is an eye sore next to the beautiful UoW Pharmacy building, being a good 80% dark brick work that in 20 years isn't going to age too well. It just looks so cheap.
