THE UGLIEST NEW BUILDING IN VANCOUVER

The ugliest new building in Vancouver can be found at the southeast corner of Main and 12th. This monument to architectural failure reeks of cheap material, bad design and just about any other bad attributes one can find when addressing architecture.
On top of all the hexagon window and poorly made awning we are left with some of the worse color combination ever used in any given palette.
The trashscape at this corner mirrors the other atrocity that was completed last year and homes a Subway store and a Starbucks coffee shop.
Somewhere there amongst these corporate giants there is an out of place grocery store and a franchised french bakery.
Back to our lovely building, so far a "Neighborhood" UPS Store has started to move into one of the empty retail spaces on the street level. We are curious to see what kind of people this eyesore would add to our neighborhood.
The whole block between 12th and 13th streets basically has become a waste, minus the old corner Dairy Queen that thanks to its late 70's's sleek architecture charms the passerby's.
