It has some street level retail, but the real issue is that they should really be building more on the railyards. Both phases, and even Manhattan West are underbuilt using even the basic Midtown FAR. That's the reason there's so much open space, and why it feels so different from the rest of Manhattan. But the NIMBYs had to be appeased. Which means they should be told to fuck off now.
One other thing, though Related classifies the earlier plan as having 6 towers (as opposed to the 3 now), it was really 8 because two of the sites featured 2 towers with a shared base.
