This project is growing on me. The pics make is seem overwhelming, but seeing it in person, it is not that bad.

Walked past this yesterday. To echo other comments, it probably should have been chopped down 4-5 stories.

Disagree completely. I find it in no way overwhelming.

^It's a great-looking slab apartment building!

Which makes me hope S+P gets more work in this town as the market shifts to mostly rental buildings.

Oh nice angle which gave me a crazy idea ... time for a remix S+P style!

I really don't like it. It's just too "abrupt" for the area. It sticks out way too much.

I'm not a fan.

I think the massing is wrong. Height may be ok it seems a little too wide and too close to the street. Right now it Feels like a wall.


What scares me more is the precedence that this building sets for the rest of the area.
