What were they thinking with this building. Balconies just stop randomly half way up the building. The wall facing DTK is basically just a blank grey precast wall for 32 storey up. The sprinkle of white panels 20 stories up somehow make this building even worse. The Architects should be ashamed of what they produced.

I think there is supposed to be another tower attached on the downtown side.

The blank wall will blocked by the phase 2 portion of this building, right now they have only built about half of the building, the entire wing going towards King hasn't been built, as such the blank wall is only temporary.

I guess that explains why it looks nothing like the rendering...
