Drove past it today, its too big! If it was 20% smaller it wouldn't be as bad.

Yeah, but you're looking at the wrong side. Besides this is much better than the Crowne Plaza on Adelaidean. At least it is unmissable 8) .

This actually looks pretty good! It's visible from a far and makes it more prominent. Only reason it looks big is because the building is stand alone and that there's not that many high rise buildings next to it to compare.

Too thicc or tall?
Because I thought Adelaide was a major city and a State Capital. 117m is quite tame..
There are high rises in the suburbs of Melbourne and Sydney that are bigger than this.

He’s talking about the signage not the building.

I too like the signage, for what it's worth.

Will be keen to see it lit up, in combination with the roof feature.

I don't mind the signage either having seen it in person now. It stands out but that's kind of the point.

At least it's not another rusting POLITES sign.

The gold signage does look better in person.

I've seen the signage from pretty much every angle over the past few days and it looks fine to me 8)

Signage now all lit up at night including balconies (which has been lit up for a while now). In my opinion it looks much better at night than during the day!
