...The building itself looks like it was transported from the mid 1970’s UVic campus so it does have that vibe going for it...
That is sort of the vibe I am getting too. That being said, I rather like the look of the building.

It’s a bit bleak, awkward and dated but that means it fits in perfectly in that neighbourhood which is full of apartment buildings that match that description.
Come on. The aerial image of the immediate neighbourhood suggests this building would be a bit of a departure. It doesn't resemble a standard-issue 1960s/1970s apartment block, and it doesn't resemble a standard-issue 1980s/1990s condo building with "neighbourhood-sensitive" house-like roof elements and other details.
What's the next-newest building in this neighbourhood? Anybody know? It would be interesting to compare with anything built fairly recently.

Come on, I'm not saying it's a work of art but it seems reasonably fresh to me for this neighbourhood.
(You can tell I'm getting riled up when I say "come on" in consecutive posts in the same thread. Please don't make me blow my top and say it a third time.)

As for “neighbourhood sensitive house like roof elements” I can’t think of too many houses with ‘roofs’ like that. If anything the building immediately to it’s right in the aerial shot does a better job trying to mimic pitched roof lines.
Come on, you're pulling my leg. I'm saying the neighbourhood already has plenty of that stuff. This building is a departure because it doesn't do it.

Come on, I have nothing against the eighties. Mike K. is always telling me how great they were.

1745 Leighton - a 1982 condo that could have spawned this project.
FYI: I've already called Geek Squad. They're rushing over to your place right now with a properly adjusted monitor.

Shared kitchens and bathrooms? Pods? I gave that up after first year uni. Awful. I would definitely never have been the customer for this type of housing.
