Omg, they should really stop using these orange panels in west loop.. it looks awful and doesn’t make building blend in with nearby old red brick structures at all.. 🤢
Agree, the staggering of panels to appear random is an overdone trend along with the color. The tower should come out to the street.
Fultonization has a few downsides.
