(...) As the decades go by I think it'll get known as one of the wackiest buildings in Waterloo Region. It's a mess.

Maybe so. And yet hundreds of families will be happy to be able to rent an apartment there.

This is true, but it doesn't mean we can't criticise the builder/ designer.  They spent actual money to make the building look like this. They could have spent the same amount of money, used the same materials and built a cohesive complex for families to rent. 

I can't believe how much attention this building get on this forum, but a project like 168 King st south get little to no attention. It is one of the only actually nice looking new building in our our Region. Families will be happy to rent there as well.
