C'mon... give me a break. Hello? Views? Weird lit glass artsy shit on the side? Huge-ass balconies? Marble bathmats? Etc.

I have to agree with you, I was over at Fuller's having breakfast with a friend, and I couldn't help but think how disappoint I was with that tower. For a quarter block building, they sure went out of their way to make it look squat and overbearing. The Benson Tower this is not. The color of the stone work is just horrible, it stands out like a sore thumb and not the kind of sore thumb that you are proud of because of some cool trick you did when it happened.
It would be nice to see actual innovative architecture going up in the city that is pushing the lines of design. I figure if we are going to act like a European city, we should at least try and look like one too.
