(NYC pages are the worst, they never include renderings and you have to scroll through pages and pages to eventually find them). I thought the first post of each thread was supposed to contain renderings and other key info and yet it seems like the Philly threads are the only ones that follow this. So kudos to you guys!
As for this specific proposal...love the height and not really out of place either. Way better than what's there now. But the design is that bland, overplayed formula: traditional base "to blend in" with a disjointed, contemporary tower on top. But overall, no complaints.

Agree, McBiz! They (Summers, et al) really maintain a great atmosphere on the threads with renderings and relevant commentary. Deeply appreciated.
And also agree that the design feels bland, but enjoy the density happening, and feels like the area can handle it well. I'm really interested in the adjacent park and the quality of it. Increasing investment in that public space would be good for new and existing residents.
