That is awesome! Nice work, I like almost all of your ideas. I like that the buildings aren't giant but are appropriately tall (except the office buidling looks taller than 19 stories in your rendering, would need to make sure it's not too tall per the FAA height limits in that part of southern downtown).

My only major critique would be to nix the opening between the buildings that has the greenspace and put in an arcade similar to Luhrs. Then there really would be continuous street facing buildings from 1st to 1st.

The greenspace idea could just be tucked back behind everything, almost like a private retreat. Even if cities tend to like green spaces open to the public, who cares. I imagine it would be like the private courtyards of the typical urban European block-sized building.
