The top part had me really excited at first, but it's a project that has the inverse of a "it grows on you" effect. Now I kind of see wasted opportunity or feel like the design is a tease. I actually don't mind how the podium appears aesthetically. But not 14 floors! At that point, it has to be better disguised. I guess any optimism with this building is couched in the fact that I had resided myself to getting a 10-12 Story 5th and Colorado- lite. At least 50% of this building has me excited.
