As someone who walks past it regularly and sometimes actually looks at it, I can tell you that I have nothing but moderate distaste for this building.
What on earth is "the style" it's meant to fit in with? Has OCCA decided that mid-1990s brick'n'vinyl "executive townhomes" should be the inspiration for all future development in Old(e) City?

I'm sure it's perfectly soundly-constructed, but the exterior just looks a bit cheap close-up, particularly the cladding around the windows/balconies, and the cornice.
PS What "many other developments" are a blight on "our little community?" Apart from the National at Old City. I agree that is even worse.
