As much as I would like all new buildings to have as much beauty and character as, say, Gaudi's Casa Batllo, is that a realistic goal? Should we let the perfect be the enemy of the good, to quote Voltaire? When you say "projects like this don't bring people to our great city" are you referring to tourists or new residents? Because in either case, people are coming to our great city in droves, and this apartment building won't keep them away.

I guess I didn't take into consideration the location of the building on the west side. It just seems cookie-cutter and bland to me. Yes, people are coming to the city, as tourists and some moving into the city. However, it just seems like it's to build something rather than design something. Just saying the design could have been a lot better. Have balconies, retail, pool, etc. And I think we all know, that the design on the pictures won't actually turn out the same in real life.
