These really show the building in context. I love it! Thanks for posting!

It is looking good, and it's going to add a lot to the street life.

Have I told ya'll how much I hate the way they treated the parking garage level? It looks like security doors that you pull down over a buisiness in a high crime area. Fail.

Add some graffti and I'll feel like I'm back in the Bronx during the 70's. Other than that, the building's exterior looks a little like the Ashton on the ends at least. The only saving grace are the large corner windows.

Are they going to color the grey brick?

Grey/gray is a color. So I hope not. I like the W, and the "industrial" look.

They're not going to color the bricks red like in the renderings?

The grey brick makes it look so unfinished.

Um...The bricks are not grey. They are a dark, reddish brown. A little darker than the renderings, but not grey. Have you had your monitor (or eyes) checked lately? I guess you are not color blind since you are able to see the red in the renderings?

audiomuse · #92 Posted **Mar 17, 2013, 4:02 PM**

You guys aren't messing with me are you? The bricks on the Whitley really are red right now?

WTF?!?!?! I was down there the other day in person and the bricks were grey. I can see the reddish color of the Hyatt right next to it.....

migol24 · #93 Posted **Mar 17, 2013, 5:01 PM**

it looks more gray/brownish to me, not red.

Audiomuse I promise the bricks are red. I actually touch the building.

So you're saying in this picture, the bricks of the Whitley are red and not grey?

I need to get my eyes checked. Wow.

migol24 · #96 Posted **Mar 17, 2013, 9:15 PM**

In fairness, I have been diagnosed as color blind.

wwmiv · #97 Posted **Mar 17, 2013, 9:44 PM**

The bricks are very much red, but the picture you've used to prove grey in that very last pic is bad because the lighting is awful. Try this one:

By the way, I've decided I hate this building. It looks like communist student housing and belongs in West Campus.

There is just the slightest touch of red. I haven't seen it up close, so maybe it's more noticeable in person. From a distance it appears more brown. I don't mind the color scheme.

I'm a guy that is not color blind. My aunt and cousin tried to make fun of me for being color blind saying that men are more likely to be. They then tested me with multiple shades of different colors and I basically shut them up by getting them all right.

My right eye sees colors brighter than my left eye.
