Personally, I've always preferred to do SketchUp renderings in the most subdued colors possible. It doesn't have a sophisticated rendering engine, so it renders materials in a really horrid cartoonish way. (Some people like the aesthetic, but I don't).
As for the design: bravo. Modern, but simple and unassuming. The little notch on the corner indicates the significance of the Division/Ashland intersection without resorting to crazy antics. Plus, the building somehow incorporates a drive-thru, but it seems to be extremely hidden.

Black & white or monochromatic, who cares, it's the same difference. The rendering doesn't do the preliminary concept justice. I don't like the cartoonish aesthetic either. The design, even at this early stage, isn't bad, IMO. The drive-thru was met with such neighborhood opposition that hiding it was well intended.
