Is slight depth to a façade that cost prohibitive? Other new buildings in Old City managed to do it. Even the clunky corner window mullions on the upper floors are a miss.
Nearly every detail that made this project sleek and stylish was not realized. Sure, decent infill, but a flat gray box. Hopefully the interior finishes hit the mark.
