Until we have more discerning clientele, I don’t think the kind of architecture you are suggesting will get built in this context.

I think this ultimately depends on the taste, vision, and decisions of the developer, as well as the skill of the architect. If the goal is to cater to the lifestyle needs of young people by creating a student residence akin to a garden-style hotel, Scape Australia offers a great example. Their investment in Scape Kingsford in Sydney resulted in a stylish and hotel-like student accommodation, featuring 381 well-designed, fully-equipped rooms. This isn’t an issue of whether it can be done, but rather whether there is a willingness to do it. The crux lies with the developer and the architect. If they approach the project half-heartedly, focused only on profit, it’s inevitable that the result will be something unappealing. Moreover, considering the importance of this location and the fact that the building may stand for decades, delivering something subpar would be an irresponsible blight on Midtown.

I think this prominent site in Midtown should be developed into a student residence like this.
