I'll take the avenue deck over that all day. I get your point though, and if the deck were a couple levels shorter where the false facade covered it fully, it would look good. BTW, I don't think there's actually any retail there. They've just put in glass storefronts to make it look like retail on the ground floor. 

Retail in Ascent you mean? I'm pretty sure they announced there is retail, and I believe the plans call for it too. I'll have to check later. 

That better be the case. If there is no retail here that is an EPIC fail. I could've sworn they were putting the leasing office off the ground floor though in some mez level in the deck.

^No, in the Ybor City deck that was referenced as being a good example of having ground floor retail.

Ascent apartment tower this evening. Wow with an international soccer match and Restaurant week, uptown was total gridlock.

I need to see this building in person. Honestly... I'm not loving the top. Need to see the finished product.

Yea it's bad right now, don't see it getting much better, hoping it does though.  The worst angle is from Tryon between the Ruth's Chris and the building next to it, it looks rediculous.  Best angle is from inside BB&T

Everyone seems to be freaking out about that but I think if its screened in a cool way like it is in the renderings (every indication that this is what they're doing still), and the street level is finished, its not going to be bad at all. It just really sticks out when glass is going in above.

we  aren't talking about the street level. I'm talking about the massing of the parapet/"crown"

Is it me, or does this building still look "stubby".  I can't put my finger on it.  It just looks like a tree stump of a building.

Oops quoted the wrong comment. There was another comment on the amount of parking and I think I subconsciously combined it with some others.

I can't really tell what the crown is doing yet. In the renderings it doesn't look like anything too obvious, seems like the walls of the top floor raise extra high to mask whatever is up there.

We have a winner. Apparently you have paid more attention than me. Those parts will be screened in, thankfully.

Those directional labels are baffling. I think I already complained about that when they first came out.
