This building isn't that bad, as it looks well built, however brown often looks terrible on buildings; this building demonstrates that point.

The buildings are mediocre, but I like the way they form a sort of continuous step-up.

Probably one of my least favorite buildings in Downtown, it still holds a place in my heart. (Though, the Edison or Ameritech buildings (Detroit's only prominent glass boxes) won't ever be able to hold that position.;))

The inside is actually pretty nice, and the rent is pretty good considering you're right in the middle of downtown 30 stories up.;)

6.0/10

Good place to be if u want to be in the heart of everything. However, I don't think it adds anything to the skyline. Wish it had been tied-in more closely w/the RenCen. Blue/silver/gray or something and modern would have been more appropriate being right across the street from our tallest bldg.

I like the glassy part, but the rest of the complex is just ugly. 5,5/10

nice for being in the heart of downtown and the close proximity to the ren cen, but it's not a beautiful piece of architecture. but it gets the job done. 6/10.
