Doesn't Beyer Blinder usually incorporate stone facades on residential towers? While I'm not expecting a Stern-caliber tower here, I'd much rather have something like The Kent with a brick facade and classic, windows with grids than a simple glass box.
Maybe there will even be some semblance of a crown like on The Kent.
