I think they lost something with ending the white faces part way up. It had a sort of 50s feel that I was quite liking and now it looks too much like other proposals that are all over the map with edges and lines.

It's still great to see Edmonton breaking the everything is 16 stories tall problem.

Looks like they are quite undecided on the inset where the balconies are. First it was lime green, then a terracotta colour (maybe brick), then white and now back to the terracotta colour. I am hoping it has some contrasting colour to it.

Not bad, hope to see many more proposals in the area, too many 70's and 80's towers in Oliver.
