It’s required by project 2025.

As big a downgrade this is from the original proposal, I can at least very much appreciate A: the more uniform/less busy design of the facade - seems to be few materials and fairly even toned color scheme, even if that scheme is 50 Shades of Grey - and B: RETAIL. Looks like, if one of the spaces is the lobby entrance, that there are at least 5 if not 6 retail spaces included. THAT is how you contribute to the city fabric even when building another fairly plain-jane apartment building. I also will add C: love the BIG ASS WINDOWS.

I AGREE. I really did like the first proposal so much better. But I am trying really hard not to be a Debbie downer on this project. Given what we have now and the previous issues with past tenants, I just want a total redo of this block. It will be a big upgrade for the entire Warehouse West End Entertainment district or whatever it is we are in now.

I know cost have gone up and I am sure that is why many of these projects have cut corners. But yay on the retail and yay on the windows.
