Nice rooftop amenities... a couple bushes and a home depot pergola. Matches the vibe, if nothing else.

There's a strong NIMBY population there so the architect offering up a faux-historical look was probably easier to get approved even though it's incredibly kitsch. "...suitable for Cambridge." LOL

Yes, stucco sucks and it should be replaced by bricks of the same colour, but at least its not just a grey box like disgusting brutalism

To me it looks like you ordered "something European" at Homesense or Winners - but it's true, the bottom of the barrel is concrete and grey panels, and this isn't it.
It's just frustrating when you see architects/developers try to make something relatively pretty, when the nearby neighbourhood (galt) has beauty everywhere from 100+ years ago that you can easily copy.
