Nice project and good to see quality development and density creep further west. It has a big presence in the area.
Being that this replaced a perfectly reusable 4 story vintage masonry building, I’d hardly call this a win. There is parking and a weedy lot just adjacent to this structure that I would much rather have seen redeveloped.
Really great looking building. Not too modern, not too historical. All the new high rises in the neighborhood should take note this is how its done
