i actually have a soft spot for the back of the hilton. i always pictured that more of a giant blank canvas for when the city gets large enough for mega oversized advertising. or maybe some kind of gigantic public art.

but when you put windows on the backside (a la portofino) there's not much you can do with it after that.

and just for the record, i think that the front will do nicely. its not the most cutting edge facade that i've ever seen, but then again, its simple and clean. i do think that it's a touch too tall. but that's just me.....

edit: is this the only high rise condo under construction in the city? i was just looking aroung on the london thread and there was an article about a forest of condo towers going up this year. any sign of this phenomenon spreading to windsor?
