Well, I'm sure 444 Kennedy looked like this for its day. Point being is that this, even if a little neat, will age very poorly and quickly.

The reason, atleast for me, why it will age quickly because the design just screams cost cutting. It may actually look good to some (not me) but still screams cost cutting. That's why it will look worse, quicker in my opinion.

In fairness, I'd rather have this than nothing. Easily. It could be a worse design too, but I'm specifically bemoaning this design trend. It must be respected that construction is expensive here... otherwise we simply wouldn't be able to densify our downtown.

In fairness, I wouldn't wish that hell on anyone.
