Cheap? Think again, maybe you should check out real estate prices in the neighborhood and by all accounts of neighbors who saw the building in progress, far from cheap materials too.

Just wonder how you all would feel if someone took a picture of your house, gave the world a map to get to it, and then called it ugly. I really dont understand how people can be so unkind.

I live by these and I think they are a pretty good infill and a nice version of contemporary that blends well in a tradition, established neighborhood.

Busy – perhaps. Cheap – the photo doesn’t convey the quality of the materials, as they are not cheap. Garish? Um sure if beige, brick red and brown are vivid colors. Know the definition before using a word – sorry pet peeve.

the architecture looks garish and bit busy – not to mention cheap.

Looks like an old Kodak instamatic. They ought to paint one side of the top floor silver.

I used to walk by everyday between Georgetown and where I lived on by the Cathedral. I love this building, it’s awesome

These are great. I lived nearby when they were being built and I like them a lot. That curb cut is fine, it’s in the intersection so it’s not taking away any street parking.

I actually like it. It fits into that side of the block in a weird kind of way.
