Remove the central spiraling ramps to bring light and air to the middle as well as exterior exposure for operable windows of apartments facing the middle? Exiting seems good with stair and elevator towers at all four corners.
This would be great. You oughta run for mayor😅 We need more vision like this. As much as I would love to see a waterfront location, this is perfectly located - a part of town that needs revival but is centrally located so there’s a guarantee a lot of people nearby. Plus much needed housing right downtown. How amazing would it be to see that nasty garage become a a thriving market, right on the max line.
