The mistake being made here is equating heritage with "good looking", the latter is entirely subjective and changes dramatically over time. All those "far better looking" buildings that have been demolished in the past are because they went through the same phase of negative opinion.

For those who insist on applying a single subjective measure of how it looks... to them... consider that the fire stairs and entire western side is gone, as are the fixtures on top. Its presence will be reduced to the curtain wall. Said curtain wall will be viewed in an entirely different visual context as it's incorporated into a larger structure.

Not going to try to change some minds here. And by some, I mean one. If you don't like architecture, nobody dragged you to an architecture forum...

Although this isn't really an architecture forum, it's a development forum mostly.

Does it really matter guys, they're keeping the building anyway. Not much point in trying to prove it's not worth a heritage listing.
They're gonna do it up real nice, don't worry.

Apparently nobody can have an opinion unless its in line with what this arrogant imbecile thinks.

Its a discussion forum, where people have different opinions and views. If you don't like to read other peoples opinions or views, you can take your own advice from a while ago, and fuck off, just like you told me and the mods let you skate, you too can fuck off cupcake if you don't like my views or opinions.

Nobody told you, or forced you, to read my post. So, you know, take your own advice.

:cheers:
