Well just plain yuck on every level.
What a monstrosity. It’s soooo ugly. Can’t the design be a little bit better then this horror.
Just what East Brisbane needs more high density living, this is he last thing East Brisbane needs. Wellington Rd is already incredibly busy this would only add to the issues in the area.
