At 1.5 parking spaces per unit? Absolutely condos.

Hopefully after a community feedback meeting, they can remove the curb cuts.

I think the point is not parking access, but the porte-cochere/dropoff area. If you want to get top dollar prices for the condos, you are competing with buildings like Lake Point Tower and One Bennett Park that have beautiful, landscaped motor courts where you can get in your Uber. You're not gonna board curbside like a peasant! It also helps them market the restaurant space, whatever restaurant moves in there can really offer a luxury dining experience with a nice dropoff area and valet parking.
The garage door between the motor court and the parking garage is one-way (enter) only, so it does seem like anyone driving their personal vehicles will still come/go from the alley.
