A lot of people like the casino, especially as a piece of "skyline flair" off to the side. It also cleaned up an extremely polluted superfund site. Even if you don't bother going yourself, it's still pretty cool looking.Surprised to see Encore losing the worst development of the year. That thing is both ugly and something hard to ignore on the skyline. Vox on Two is gross neo-traditional kitsch developer modernism (don't hold me to that word garble) but at least it isn't visibly offensive to many people who don't live right near it.
Architecturally, its pretty terrible and offensive, but this is where I kind of ran into predicaments while voting - its an architecture forum, so based on architecture alone, Encore is a contender for winning worst design, but when combining its economic impact and potential/future growth, it out-competes the other two in terms of a 'development.' Same with Hub on Causeway - the architecture is good/okay (there's definitely better architecture across the city), but overall as a 'development,' its a huge winner.Surprised to see Encore losing the worst development of the year.
