When Fredericton city council announced the sale of the parking garage at the intersection of Brunswick Street and Carleton Street this week, residents were told by a developer that the "sexiest building" Fredericton had seen in a long time would take its place.

Noting an arguable lack of fetching edifices, CBC New Brunswick decided to find out what the "least sexy" buildings are in Fredericton. Here are five that came up, some of them repeatedly, on the streets of Fredericton and online.

1. Kings Place Mall

King's Place Mall was considered the "least sexy" of all the Fredericton buildings. (CBC News) Kings Place was easily the most frequent entry. The shopping centre lost marks because its "colours didn't go together".

<a href="https://twitter.com/phildrost">@phildrost</a> KingsPlace is definitely the 'dad bod' of Fredericton —@AliciaLittle People also mentioned that, as the centre of the downtown, the "sexiness expectation" should be higher.

2. Centennial Building

People found the Centennial Building monolithic and out of place, putting it on the least sexy list. (Philip Drost/CBC) If Kings Place Mall is the ruler of the "least sexy" buildings list, the Centennial Building is its second-in-command.

<a href="https://twitter.com/phildrost">@phildrost</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CBCNB">@CBCNB</a> Always disliked the Centennial building but it's growing on me in the last couple of years. —@bthubbard The Centennial Building has been called monolithic, and you may remember it subbed in for a Soviet-era airport in Moscow for the television movie Canada Russia '72.

3. Regent Mall

The Regent Mall was considered least sexy for being "just a big block". (Philip Drost/CBC) Regent Mall also made the "least sexy" list. It was described as a series of boxes that had little consistency as the exterior changed from store to store. Fans can take solace in the fact that the Regent Mall is only Fredericton's second "least sexy" mall.

4. NB Power building

515 King Street, which houses NB Power and Bank of Montreal, made the list for its overuse of squares. (Philip Drost/CBC) 515 King Street landed at fourth on the list of "least sexy". The building, which houses both the Bank of Montreal and NB Power, took a hit for its repetitive use of shape.

Square building, square windows, overall, just pretty square — and, to some, square isn't very sexy.

5. CBC Fredericton

In a dramatic twist, the CBC Fredericton building got named to its own list of "least sexy" buildings. (Philip Drost/CBC) In a case of throwing stones from within a glass house, CBC Fredericton wound up on its own list of "least sexy" buildings.

While this reporter feels the product coming out of the building is often worth considering sexy, people felt the outward appearance left much to be desired.
