great update androiduk! very sweet shot
I agree that the whole thing is turning out to look ugly. At night it looks even worse and like it came from a swamp.
I know I'm gonna like the Shangri-La a whole lot better when it's completed.
The entire tower is ugly if you ask me. From the turquoise/teal hue to the cringeworthy post-modern pastiche of cheap materials, I just don't like this thing.
Is it me, or is the use of teal/turquoise/green just getting a little too ubiquitous in the downtown core? Are developers really this myopic to build a sea foam green colony of towers? They'll obviously look horrifically dated within a decade.
The materials are anything but cheap and it's hardly a pastiche of materials, being consistently clad in granite and glass. I don't like to see too many green towers but at Trump it's not just green from cheap glass. They're injecting some deliberate colour, which is out of the ordinary among the many grey towers built in the past decade.
