Everyone, We all need to accept something; Attila the Hun style living is not a totally bad thing. What I mean is that "ephemeral" is not all bad nor is it alien to us. Why do we want something that is going to stand the test of time (or design)? Why should something be so "award worthy" in order to meet with our praise? Face it, people want a place to live, they want it now (because they need a place to live), and they are willing to look the other way about all kinds of stuff in order to feel good for just a little while. So I would say two things (alternatives to each other): (1) let them be happy or (2) rejoice in the fact that an Attila the Hun like entropy is engulfing them. But it is simply not honest to pretend we care about anything else besides those two options. O.K. Everyone,

Now Jasper comes on and suggests a simple way to "improve" the design. Hey Jasper, could they pay that with what the developer left in their reserve account? I'm betting you'd bid on it too.

The upper floors need some texture or horizontal lines to define the floors, perhaps in the form of (stucco?) stonework or brickwork.

It looks like it could be an annex for the Hampton Inn across the street. I passed by this for at least a year before I figured out it was a condo.
