If that first shot was in an art exhibit, it would be titled: "Sailing the Seas of Sameness."
I think this tower looks great on it's own. It's pretty high quality finishes, the vertical mullions at the corner help it soar into the sky, and offset the horizontal orientation of the wraparound balconies. But sitting within this sea of blue-green glass towers with light gray metal panels, it just gets lost. I really hope some developer and architect shake this area up with a signature tower that breaks the mold. Even something as simple as the X Condo would suffice.
