That is great! Seriously, so many of the buildings I don't like in the Pearl, for example, are the ones that try to replicate the brick-warehouse style. It's great when historical buildings are preserved for a new use, but the new construction should strive for its own modern style. But it's a delicate balancing act, I guess, trying to incorporate new development while not totally wrecking the character of existing neighborhoods.
