It's nice to see a new rendering of something in Detroit. I missed that feeling!

Not a fan of the architecture, as I believe it will age rather poorly. But do like the location and density.

I wouldn't worry about the design too much yet. It'll probably change before the final rendition actually starts being constructed.

You're right, but never for the better. We refer to it as 'Value Engineering'. What you're seeing in the application is what the developers want to spend. Once this thing gets hard bid, materials, details and finishes will be curtailed. The one exception would be a dead construction market, then the trades fight over jobs and bids become more competitive.

One building that actually stuck to the rendering.
