All four neighboring property owners were fiercely against it.
Of course they were. More residents in the area means more business, which means more revenue, which means more tax to pay. Nobody likes paying tax.
And a spiffy new building will oblige them to spruce up their own properties, which also costs money. That's one of the nice things about having a bomb crater of a parking lot next door. You always look good by comparison.

I'm not keen on that pinkish tone and that small face just north of/above the swimming pool seems quite ordinary. Should have been a curve or something there.
The main face along Douglas Street needed more variation. Maybe each vertical section should have been stepped back slightly from the one north of it.

Hard to believe the transformation in a 2 block area beginning with The Falls, moving along Humboldt past the Marriott, Astoria (with future bolder paint scheme), Belvedere, and terminating with Parkside. And of course Aria, phases I and II acros the street. If this level of rejuvenation could be maintained throughout the City, Victoria might once and for all shake-off its faux-English facade and actually move into the 21st century. Here's hoping... :>)

We need Oxford to camp out and snap some shots for us.

I tried, but failed to capture the elusive lawn bowler in its natural habitat.
