The Line vs. The Dillon is the most difficult vote IMO.
Both have access to grocers (Publix/Weaver St.). Both are mixed use with an office component. Both have access to a growing district around them.
I voted The Line because of the nature of its ground level engagement being public on both the internal âhollowâ of the site, and the external perimeter of it. The Line feels more human scaled to me because it isnât sited as a giant block-hogging entity. The Line also nods to the its adjacent neighbors to the west with the way the foot traffic is encouraged.

I believe we were supposed to take location out of the mix. I thought we were going off design of the apartments alone being the 5x1 discussion.
Iâm not sure if the Line is staying gray, but overall I prefer the brick look of the Dillon. Iâm not giving points to the Line for being next to the office because itâs a completely different building. Itâs the same that Iâm not giving the Dillon extra points for its office building.

I looked back through the thread, and itâs not clear that there is anything specific that narrows how you are supposed to vote.
That said, my comments are mostly design related since design is about how a problem is solved; itâs not just about aesthetics.

I voted for the Line because it looks likes they have real balconies, whereas the Dillon looks like they are 6 inchs wide, lol.
Berkshire got my vote for the ground floor arcade, big fan of those here.
401 got my vote because the central tower actually comes to the ground, and the Edisonâs seems to float. But that was really tough.
I did not really consider location because I donât know the areas that well any more.

The location, so what it is near, is the only thing I would take out of it. So that way voting is purely based on what it is in the building and/or what it looks like. I think of it as what the developer built vs what another developer built. I guess the type of retail or mixed use in something might seem like a location advantage, but I am okay with that.
This one suprised me. I expected the Metropolitan to win easily.
The other one didnât catch on fire and burn half of downtownâŚ

Well, it did not burn half of downtown, but, a building in 927 West Morgan did catch fire! When I lived on Ashe avenue I remember them cleaning it up for a year or so.
Street view from 2013 shows some clean up going on
Fair point though.

They are all pretty awful. Revisn being the worst building I have ever seen in my life. The Dillon is the only one with any architectural interest at all.
