Drove by this the other day. The light grey facade area looks bad. It just looks like concrete block.

For students, it makes sense for me if affordability is in the deal.
Let me dream lol

The titles on SRC are all supposed to stick to the same format, because the database ties into them that way on the back end. I'm planning to populate the database for the entire city over the summer.

It's interesting how Richcraft and Mastercraft Starwood both decided to build their blandest projects ever one next to another at Centrepoint.

Let's be honest here, this isn't a well-heeled area where people are clamoring to move so it kind of tracks.

Is it not, though? There are a lot of 1-2 million dollar SFH in Centrepointe, and they mostly 2000's vintage. I would have expected a lot of these people to be downsizing, getting their Dymon unit, and staying in the neighbourhood. Similar to Lepine City in Kanata, Petrie Island, and BBQhaven.

This one has been rebranded as 'Gemini Tower'

The staggered windows and the decision to make shapes out of different shades of charcoal brick are killing me.
