lol every time i see that building the song " I said what about breakfast at tiffanys" pops in my mind. Love that building
Some photos from about a month ago:
Website says opening Jan 30th
The Whataburger has been open since about Dec. 15th. They blew through that project!
The outside of the Tiffany building is so ugly, wish they would update it.
I don't think it looks too bad. Their logo has blue and orange, so I bet it will compliment the building when it's finished.
I've never been to a Dave & Buster's before. Is this design typical?
I've been to several and none looked like that...
I might be in the minority but I love the color scheme and design of the building.
I love the design/scheme as well. I would have preferred it be more dense in a mixed-use dense development like that site is perfect for, but considering it's OKC and developers don't know what that means, it's a better looking faux suburban building, and one of the nicer looking D&B. Most of them are just tan EIFS.
I don't hate it, but it does sorta look like someone belched up a bit of Tetris screen taffy
I drove by a couple of days ago and when I just glanced at it while passing by, I thought it was just some kind of under layer or something that would be stuccoed over or something. I couldn't see the pattern in it. I had no idea that was the finished product. Yuk!
If you look at the color scheme in place, it matches some of the other colors in the area. The county inn and suites was repaired recently and it has a similar yellow. The hampton and 3030 building have the same red. The crown plaza has what seems to be the same dark green. Must be something for the area??
It must be something about that area. Drove by again today and was noticing all the colors on the buildings. That Country Inn is horrible looking. What a hideous color. Some kind of dijon mustard nightmare!
The Country Inn isn't nearly as bad in person as some of the pics posted here indicate, it has nearly the same color palette as the Panera Bread down the street
ljbab728: I've seen it too, and like I said it isn't that bad at all. it isn't an exact match in color (the yellow does seem to have a slight greenish cast to it) but you can see it in the background of the first pic Pete posted and the same colors are present in the Dave & Busters building. Colors (and restraunts/food)are subjective you like it or you don't. Personally I am not a fan of the Whataburger orange either. LOL
There are a lot of colors used in the popular palettes that I do not really like, including the week old dried mustard color that is used quite a bit. Mixed with many other colors like that location makes it a bit more appealing. I have only been to the newish D&B in Westminster but it was a drizzly night so I didn't really get to see what the outside looked. The one in South Denver is an older one right on I-25 but it looks huge from the outside. Before going to the one in Westminster the only location that I had been to was the Walnut Hill Lane location in Dallas, never went to the Austin one and I only worked a mile or so from it for 4 years.
The design is so hideous my wife and I concluded it wasn't near completed. Unfortunately, this is the actual, dreadful design. It's so bad it's as if the architect / builder / designer hates OKC and is playing a cruel joke on us. Awful.
Developers in this town, with a couple of exceptions, have no pride or taste and appear to only care about money. Disgusting.
