^ It all depends on the materials used, but for me it looks like a lateral move. I really despised the dual asshats on the original design, and this one addresses that to some degree (though I'm not a fan of the mechanical box on the top, but what are you gonna do?). I will say that this design is a bit more contextual with the Ritz/Marriott across the street, but with a vertical fenestration. Of course this can backfire by making the area too visually busy. And if they use stucco for those white panels, this will really look like shit in 5-6 years.
