The actual fit and finish. There's missing trim everywhere I look, bent and dented panels, nothing seems to line up with anything else, lots of weird details wherever you'd see one trade interfacing with another.

You can sort of make it look OK in photos from a block away, but it's rough when you get up close to it

...sounds like an issue of craftsmanship as opposed to style. That is, the looks and materials are all there, but it wasn't put together all too well. If so, I'll agree that's disappointing here.

…although the pics above don’t seem to be showing that.

I love how misleading these floor plans tend to be, with the furniture so underscaled in relation to the unit plan. The beds are particularly egregious...

It's not "misleading", it's lying. These plans, and Arcadis and Manga behind them, are lying. It's embarrassing and the limits of 'artistic impression' really need to be regulated and enforced. This is embarrassing.
 
The above discussion is good........but I can see many people not 'getting it' so let me help a bit:

Lets start with a blow up of residence 3:

So, lets infer that the minimum size of a bed is 'Full' or what used to be called 'Double'. Those measure 75 inches long by 54 wide. (or 6'3 by 4'6)

So looking at one bedroom (top) you see a room depth of 8'5. That means your max clearance from the end of the mattress is 2 feet (that's with no headboard). 1ft '10 is more realistic.

So a properly illustrated bed in that room should occupy 86% of the room depth, doesn't look like that, does it?

Now look at the shape of the room around the bed......that width isn't 9'6..........so how much room do you have beside the bed, on each side? Uh huh.

A Queen is 60 inches wide.

In terms of length/depths, a Queen, which many would consider standard these days..........is 80 inches deep, so you have at most 9 inches remaining between the end of the mattress and the wall, likely 7 with a headboard.....uh huh..

I see lots of builders floor plans showing double/full size bed, not a queen which is more commonly used. Especially with bedrooms smaller than 9’x9’ it’s the only way to show it’s somewhat functional, but I personally think a real bedroom should be smaller than 9’x9’. Many bedrooms these days have sliding doors instead of traditional swing doors because of the bed gets in the way of the door swing.
I don’t like beds shoved into the corner where you can enter only from one side, and I have tried shopping for decent nightstands that are only a foot wide, but it’s pretty hard to find.

The sofas shown are also greatly out of scale. It’s less than the depth of the kitchen cabinets (which are 24”). It makes the living room look like it’s 20’ wide. The TV console cabinet in Residence 3 looks to have almost the same depth of the wall thickness, lol! Not only the furniture plan is grossly deceptive, but looks like it was laid out by someone who has no clue. Looks like they used kids furniture.

The kitchens are pretty pathetic. There’s only 2’ of counter space (forget having a toaster or coffee maker) and the only base cabinet storage is under the sink (if you assume they have dishwashers), not very ideal nor spacious. For a 3 bedroom this is extremely impractical.

It's really troubling when the kitchen in the studio looks bigger than the kitchen for the 3 bed

How you even move furniture into the 3 bed is beyond me

In every plan there's something in the way. In the 3 bed, the closet is in the way to get to the balcony in the bottom room. In the 2 bed, the sink is in the way when you walk in, in the top bathroom. The bedroom in the 1 bed doesn't even have a closet BC they prob wouldn't have hit OBC room reqs with a closet.
