While issued permits listed the unit count as 356, project architect Brininstool + Lynch displays the figure at 365 on their website.

Brininstool + Lynch’s contemporary tower design consists of a rectangular massing encased in a glass and aluminum curtain wall. Semi-visible structural columns are fully uncovered as the top portion incorporates a cut out section for the penthouses.

  1. That base is horrendous. I’m not sure it could get any worse.

  2. Incredibly awful looking building. Copy and paste of OTP2. That glass was an awful choice. Onni get’s an F- on this one.

  3. Lord please grant us some architects that will deliver us from these mediocrities!

  4. The massive parking podium is really unfortunate.

  5. Perfectly good infill, even the podium. All I ask is that when the Office Depot across the street gets redeveloped, we get something landmark-quality.

    How do the rendering and the building look so different. Wow. Awful looking building.

  7. That podium could land small planes.
