Four years later...


I posted a photo of this building four years ago in August of 2008.  I drove by it again yesterday and noticed it has a new tenant and a new look.  I like the green trim very much but, I do miss all those large cactus that were  popping out along the walk ways on the upper floors.  Click the link above to see the original photo.

I agree, Sharon, the cacti looked just great there.

I prefer the current color to the starkness of the white color of years ago. Walking past this building would not be very pedestrian-friendly. It seems somewhat like a fortress.

I think it looks like a parking garage. Even the trees with the planed-off tops are rather stark.

I like the original look best.

Lowell said...

You're right. Perhaps the new tenant will do some additional decorating to provide some contrast to the ultra-modern look. It's a nice building, though.

Very well composed picture!

Magpie said...

What a difference! Thanks for sharing both shots.

Slicker but I miss the personal touch with the cactuses...

yes, the cactuses are needed. otherwise it looks too sterile.

Need the cacti, it is in AZ after all.

I like the green but the cacti would go wonderfully with it so it needs them too!

Judy said...

I agree with Kathy about the parking garage. I like this color better but you are right, it needs the extra touch.

Kate said...

yes, very different and I, too, would miss the cacti.

I like the green trim also Sharon, it certainly looks very streamlined and efficient now, I wonder who the new occupant is?
