Too tall to be so slender, it reminds me of an awkwardly-tall adolescent. And the surface looks too cluttered... a smoother appearance would have been much more graceful.

They're a little reminiscent of a kid who tries to stack as many Legos as possible without it falling over... 6/10.

it looks like if they're built in a very depressed neighbourhood... they look weird but anyway they are graceful IMO 8/10

How come all of these are considered one building here?

We decided to treat them all as 1 entity as their designs are basically the same and they are part of a development. Just like having a single thread for the Emirates twin towers instead of 2 separate ones.

6/10, im not a great fan of those, the structure is good, but the facade looks terrible, but the area around will become nice when they complete whole Union Square.

5/10

Average Buildings. Somewhat graceful and tall. Must be nice to live in but the colors not great, and the facade is odd and not all that pleasing, all told. But they are residential towers, so they can never look greaet (big windows with many colored curtains, high wall to floor areas, etc). Still its amazing how in any other city these would just dominant the skyline, here they are barely noticeable.

may be a typical design but I like how each building gets taller. It'd be pretty neat to drive by from a distance.

I gave a 8.5, it's really a cool looking complex.

Quite an intimidating design. Imagine standing at the bottom looking up!
Though the facade isnt perfect, the design is, because it makes it look tall.

the top is nice,the facade is ok,the colors are bad.
the only impressive thing is the impact it has in the skyline.
7.0/10
