You are comparing Ontario's largest residential developer and their bottomless pockets to a company's first introduction into the mid-rise market. Daniels does not profit on the first-home developments; they are used to garner leverage for their high-rise endeavors.
I will agree that there are merits to the Daniels design. I believe it is worth pointing out the postive attributes to a design (the glass railings, the dark cementboard siding contrasting the light stone) rathen than focussing on the negatives (the hokey false peak and gable vent to nowhere). But keep in mind if everything looked like Daniels it would be a pretty mundane city.
Vandyk should be commended for trying something a little different, even if it isn't to everyone's liking. It looks like their upcoming developments have a bit more refined design than this one (at least the renderings appear so).
