I like it a lot too. It does have a sort of mid-century modern thing going on, like a contemporary reclad of a modernist building.
As usual, sidewalk interaction isn't amazing. Rather than one large, property-spanning storefront, I'd like to see it split in two--more business opportunity, and more amenable to small businesses. Given the size of the space and the location a little off the pedestrian beaten path, we're probably not too likely to see any unique or interesting shops in there. (Hello, Starbucks, or something along those lines.)
But that's a small quibble, overall. Nice to see even small-scale projects getting better and better designed. This would be an above-par project in any city.
