I meant build the entire structure with original massing but with no commercial. Other older office spaces around the downtown are putting forward proposals of demos or renos coverting the office to residential. Odds are the Cogswell lands will have a significant residential component as office space downtown is now in a glut. Being late on the new office trend hurt this three block cluster by only retaining one major bank, maybe this can be their chance to get ahead in a new residential area.
