But the design is incredibly ho-hum/boring/conservative/meh/uninspiring. It's basically a glass box with the only embellishment being the "two-tone" color/material scheme. Would have been cool to see curves or a tapered top, offset layers, or something else to make this building stand out.

It kind of looks like a much shorter and very bored 1620 Sansom. However, the materials used are good and the design is definitely inoffensive. From the sides I really like it. That solid glass wall is a bit meh but all glass renderings like that always look that way. I’m sure once built it’s going to look really clean. This is all to say nothing about the void this will fill when walking around Logan Square.
