The Westin as well as the Magellan project should create a nice E 5th St experience. The lack of verticality in this project is disappointing.... but the street level experience along Congress Avenue and East 5th Street will be drastically improved. I actually prefer this to...for example.... the seven story Finger apartments with no ground level retail being built in downtown Houston. Tall buildings are nice from a distance but expensive detailed street level development is what makes a city great.
