No pun intended, but to a 'layperson' that whole riverbank thing looks pretty awesome.

Any ideas about what the "Jewel" is about?

I'm all there for this to be more beautiful than its neighbour. My only "aesthetic" hesitation is how the two towers standing so closely side by side might look a bit imbalanced on the skyline, but it's a nice problem to have I guess

Looks pretty nice - Melbourne Street lately looking like could do with a bit of a boost, this might help a lot!

I noticed this morning that both Realm and Crowne Plaza will also be prominent and visible from Grenfell Street as well. I hadn't realised how many positions Realm would be visible from.

If Dwell and the Swiss cheese building on Waymouth are the standard, then we're stuffed.

Cheese grater is the SAHMRI building I think.

Fair point... I'll wait and see heh

I really hope I'm not one who is considered to jump in just to post negativity and criticism, but I have to make an exception in this case to say that looks horrible, just totally irredeemably horrible.
