Thanks for the photos, rbdetsport. Greektown turned out the best of all, if you ask me. The multi-colored glass, outcrops, and the font on the signage on the tower is just excellent. You'd think all of the money that the other two spent, they could have come up with some better exterior designs.

I love it! It's some goofy architecture...emphasis on TEXTURE! 
It's a warm building and to me, makes the whole Greektown experience much more cozy and urban, with a splash of excitement. I hope that it's a catalyst for more urban land use on that part of downtown. My ultimate dream scenario for the east side of downtown is to span over 375 as a walkable, pedestrian-friendly, car-accomodating function. As it is right now, it seems like the vision is more to separate the two sides and I don't like that feeling.

Yeah, I definitely love the tower portion. The glass is really nice. Not sure about the side you see by the people mover. I think that could have been improved on a bit. In fact, i wouldn't have minded if the blue glass was continued around the side as a false window.
