Totally!

I walked by this area tonight, and realized that this proposal will fit into the odd space in beyond the Trillium perfectly. There's a parking lot and two or three wood buildings, but this will really help build/inject even more density, as somebody123 points out.

I don't even think the Schmidtville NIMBYs will go too crazy, as it's essentially right across from Park Vic, which itself is a bit of a land/property bank between the SGR high density development and the smaller residential further towards the South End in this area.
