How about this one, among the many that we could use down here?
The new Lakeland Centre would seem to fit the criteria from the above quote.

Any other suggestions??

I hate to be a naysayer, but I am not sure I would want to see that "white elephant" nominated. I personally feel it was a waste with what they built.

I just sent it in five minutes ago and I guess I won't get your vote, do you have a better idea for something down here??
I know there are many places along the Path that have some good architecture character.

I have used that facility many times since it was built, I have taken the kids to the pool and the splash pad. I have taken pictures of the waterfront on both sides (great view) on many occasions, even the middle of the winter when they let me in. There is a restaurant located in the bottom section just a few feet from the Path and I have seen the odd wedding reception take place, so it is being used.
As you can see now on the Beach, there are large condo projects starting with more on the way. At least this is a people place for all to use and not a wall of shoe horned in condos, so I may have to disagree(and we are all entitled to our opinion here) with the "white elephant" comment. I thought we were lucky to get this centre in our backyard.
