Best view I have of the site so far LOL....

This is a neat building!
|
So far I like 3/4 of this building, hopefully that mostly blank wall will be hidden by any future development on the adjacent parking lot.
While the blue houses are old I hope no one tries to claim they are historic, a historic building needs either size, significance or context and at this point these buildings have lost all of their context. |

Ideally, you keep the two rowhomes intact and build on the empty lot. I think those rowhomes would look really neat wedged between the modern high rises.
Do I care enough to get all NIMBY about it? Nope. Build on! |
This is certainly...interesting, creative, and original.
Where's the rest of the building? It sure is squeezed in that small amount of space. The floor plans have got to be small. I'm all for progress and seeing it get built. I just hope it doesn't adopt the name, "the doily building". Another blogger described it like that, and I'm afraid he/she is spot on. It will be interesting to see how the façade/wall turns out. :) |
.....and people in Family Court will be able to see you walking around in your undies.
|
That would be cherry if built the way it is shown in the rendering..:tup::cool::cool::tup:
|
The glass is strange looking on it, sort of art nouvaish.
|
Is there a height limit in this area? It always bothers me that they construct these buildings that are the same height next to each other. It's bad enough the Family Court is the same height as the building next door but now the put another one next to them.

No decision from the ZBA as of now. They are waiting to hear back from the Planning Commission on their recommendation for the lot.

I'm more curious about the office space on floors 2 through 8. These are fairly small floor plates I would imagine so I'm guessing they are targeting small start up firms? Is there a reason they don't go all residential? I'm not complaining about the added office space, I'm just a bit surprised. I suppose it's a good sign of the office sector making a comeback. |
