Now that I'm back in the area for a bit and can see it first hand... man, the exterior finishes on the complex look sooo bad a suburbia entertainment-box aesthetic, completely out of place and out of character for the location. Still waiting to see exactly how that south-east corner is going to be built, hopefully it will tie the complex in with Columbia street/Hyack square a little better and redeem the design a little bit. Should have opened up into the corner on the second floor somehow, with windows and balconies and patios, instead of completely closing off into that horrible big blank checkerboard-clad wall...

The bus loop isn't as bad as I'd feared, it's brightly lit at least, seems a little small though for the number of routes... When they move the buses off Carnarvon maybe they'll finally sell those four live/work units
