The building has reeled in opinions from businesses and locals and Sandra Goss, an architect for 20 years, says the outcome so far surprised her.
"I saw early designs for it and I thought, 'wow, that kind of looked neat.' Then when I see what the material is and how it's executed, it doesn't seem to be a lot of detail on the facade and having any kind of projections or recesses for shadow and interest," said Goss.
The architect told CoastTV she thought putting brick on a piece that looks structural was a bit odd to her.

Goss wishes a few things had been done differently.
"Some kind of cornice on the top to end the building, it doesn't have to be traditional, could be modern, but some sort of projection for interest," Goss shared.
CoastTV had previously been told that this work is set to be completed in the Spring of 2025.
