I thought these towers will be the tallest buildings downtown since both of them will be over 500'. I LOVE this project because high density projects in East Village will make that whole area so much more vibrant. I feel for the homeless, but I am getting tired of the drug deals and crime that my area has. The only place to buildout downtown is by moving east and when these tall buildings get built in EV the skyline will look amazing! In regards to a village, there shouldnt be any downtown...build tall and then build taller!
The project on 13th and market, I feel is a complete disaster. That parcel of land should be used to build a more dense, taller building with condos, not rentals. With the future park right there, it is a shame that the builder is just trying to throw something up there thats easy and quick (completely my opinion, not a fact.) They should take some time and build a tower that has some real "WOW" factor. We need more condos downtown, not rentals. The inventory for condos for sale downtown has dropped below 300 units, when last year it was almost double that!
