I live across the street and this is one of the most budget construction projects I have seen in a while.

The previous proposal, while taller, had half as many units as the current proposal (149 vs 71). Granted, the units in the new building are very possibly smaller, but it really isn't a smaller building by any means. And besides, I also appreciate that that project is proposing an actual blocky mass instead of being the classic tower on podium we love to complain about, which the previous proposal was. I do have to agree that the design of the building is a bit plain, but the new proposal is not by any means small.
