One can hope that the real developer will look at both of the top proposals and take the best bits of both.

The retail storefrontages are also bland and non-descript. They should pull back the parking on the second level to allow for taller retail &/or lobby/ amenity spaces along the street.

It's worth mentioning that this project is
up for review at the planning commission meeting on May 13th. They've been having the meetings online and they're easy to attend, so you could bring this up as a concern.
