wow....thanks
this thing is growing fast
I hope you're talking about The Ritz.
welcome to UT.
And now, a long distance stitched 18x telephoto shot, so it's a bit shaky, as seen from the barnacle staircase on the back of the AGO:

Heck, the Strathcona.

I don't really like the building in general. Seems ho-hum, like the residential equivalent of Bay-Adelaide Centre. It blends in well and is non-offensive, certainly.

oh yes, forgot about those.. and i guess you can add 1 king west and cosmopoliton as well if you wanna continue eastward.
Podium looks nice, it's the south side which looks ugly in my opinion.

I find the podium a bit bulky and overwhelms the southside of Wellington. I'm not writing it off yet, because once construction is done and being used, it will animate the street quite nicely, especially at night time with the lights on.

The up-close detail of this building is wonderful. Probably has one of my instant new favourite facades/curtain-walls in the city. I love the horizontal bands of venting that separate the different horizontal window/glass sections. Awesome.
And the podium is so powerful and definitely sexy.

I'm still on the fence wrt the bulky north facing podium ... what bothers me more right now is the horizontal banding seen on the south side of the tower section
