They did a great job of hiding the bulk of the parking. And the twin towers design is above average.

It is not groundbreaking in design or execution, but it is well above average. For a mid-rise building, I will take it!
LOL nope. This is a Pappageorge building, of course it will be painted! You can already see the dark gray paint in harry's first photo.

I agree that it looks awesome unpainted, and I am sad to see the paint... but the street presence and the lack of podium is a pleasant surprise.
