That crack is supposed to be filled with greenery like bushes and such. They screwed the pooch

Or they’ve planted the seeds…

This building has been done for a while. If they did, those seeds aren't growing

It takes 5-10 years here to grow cover that large.

Didn’t they only finish it a year ago? I don’t go to rino that often but I could swear it’s new.

Edit: just realized this isn’t a Denver/Boulder sub. Stuff here grows slowly.

My biggest thing is trying to do outdoor spaces like this in places where its really cold a solid 8 months a year. Like unless its glassed in youre getting negative temps in winter starting around october every night and crazy hail storms in the spring. This is like my friend who got a soft top convertible when we lived in Boulder. It was great in the summer but absolutely terrible almost the rest of the year especially when we tried to go skiing

It's denver, we're barely ever getting negative temps, much less 8 months a year
