I honestly do not mind this build and I liked the Hat. We have Zero buildings of the modern era with something interesting up top. Unless you consider the lunchbox or milk cartoon one.
I do however dislike the current version of the parkade.
But seriously for the haters. Do you want another 40 plus years of an empty parking lot? This build is not going to ruin downtown. It will add alot of people which we need. And take away a massive expanse of a parking lot which is honestly not the safest place to cross in the evening. And it's not in a prime location. It's tucked behind Portage. Most won't even see the parkade. You'd see the towers though.
And the sad example we have been given of how it looks is definitely not how it will look.
The Alt looks like crap imo. But lots of you seem to like this stucco tower. I'll give the Alt one plus. It has a nice podium. But the thing above it is a disgrace. Glass House would have been alot better on top.
And a new build of this scale means Jobs. Something we need in this slow market.
