..nope, it's not, window layout deviates quite a bit, on the front and sides.





The biggest deviation being the bizarre, FILLING IN of those windows - the front sides complete and the middle half-way.. very bizarre.. no bottom basement windows like the render - thinner windows, side windows don't reflect the render - top ones are narrower. No side windows on the top penthouses, So no, not identical to the render, and yes, worse looking than the render.

It is possible that they wanted more wall space inside but still wanted the look of all of the windows. I know there are other ways of doing it.

The building now has "jughead syndrome" - the windows looking like lazy half opened eyes.



I hereby dub thee "the jughead lofts"

There are a number of differences. The top level is different: the render was all glass, the build is not. There are no windows to a basement level. And the third level corner doesn't have that little step back on the east side.

Those half-windows are weird, but maybe there's reason for that. Stairwells and elevators?

Oh well. Given some of the uglies that have gone up in this town, I don't think this will rank among the worst. Hopefully whatever exterior colour treatment is applied will bear that out.

If only it had cornices.

Lol, it even has a "seam line" at the top for where a cornice could go! Problem solved!

The half windows are just weird.

Looks like they dropped the basement?

I'm dubbing a new term for this look - commie lego-block.
