Just a personal opinion, not meant to stir up animosity. I just think it looks clunky and not very graceful, and somewhat dated, like the kind of cheapie infill we saw in Canadian cities throughout the 90s. The plans submitted to council indicate the curved corner portion will be a glass-and-aluminum curtain wall, which just screams "cheap."
It's better than what's there now of course, by a longshot—I just don't like the design much, and I think it's going to be kind of a gateway on the eastern edge of Quinpool.
