I still think this building is boxy and horribly bland. Some of you like the facade treatment, which I guess isn't terrible, but, it's just looks like a cardboard box.

I hope it gets built, that's another sort of strange few blocks of town. More people will be better instead of businesses that close at 5pm.

I like it a lot - but it's all going to come down to the materials used. If they look cheap, it'll look bad. I really hope the lighting ends up looking like what we see in the renders. This could be a fine addition to the Pearl.

It is a decent urban building for the Pearl, honestly it won't really stand out, but it also won't be an embarrassing looking building.

Demolition well under way at the site of the Diane.

I noticed they preserved a number of the large overhead timbers. Always nice to see.

Those little, one story buildings sure do clean up fast.

I like this developer's nod to art deco in so many of his buildings.

Crane up today.

This building is going to dwarf the immediate surrounding area. This crane is TALL!
