Oh my; Marlin Spring says; "Why just be ugly; when you can be Fortress Double Ugly?!"
Well, that's not their exact slogan; but it does sum up the spirit of it well.

Curious +344 units and 26 additional floors over two towers and no Planning Report Addendum?
I wonder if @ProjectEnd would have thoughts on that.

I'm no fan of MS, they're one of the worst offenders, but, regarding this 'design', it's exactly what "zoning" should be:

I don't like the orange box at this stage either.
I think the podium has the massing of a fortress.

But I was also meaning to solicit your view on whether a Planning Report Addendum should be required for this scale of increased density vs the previous submission.

I see Marlin Spring is taking some inspiration from Concord: hulking podium that's likely going to bring nothing to the table with 2 very likely uninspiring towers.
This is going to be ugly.

C'mon guys: Wallman? Hulking podium? Uninspiring towers? Too many units? Too few elevators? We have precedent for exactly this!
