I just looked at the plans on Page 1. This complex reminds me of an apartment complex I lived in in Austin in the late 80s (wow). It was a nice place to live as an upperclassman at UT, but it wasn't immediately walkable. You had to drive to go anywhere. So my point is that while these apartments will be nice for the residents (parking, pool, nice apartments I assume), they'll have to walk several blocks for any meaningful retail. If a few ground level retail fronts were included in the building, even one per side or corner, that would be four things like a diner, deli/store, cleaner and even a small bank branch or a Subway.
