Agreed; I don't see how you could have that much of the building's envelope be blank walls... would make a lot of unleasable space for residential use. I would guess they didn't finish their (crappy) sketchup model before submitting it.
This would be one of the bulkiest buildings in downtown, if built. Look how it dwarfs the Harrison towers and everything else!
Gah, is there any design intent in this thing? Sky lobbies like the recent PSU dorm? Internal circulation or hangout spaces???
