Yeah, agreed that residential is the way to go. The project as planned is not feasible in this market. Outside of small boutique office buildings, it's unlikely that the near future will be seeing much office in the developmental pipeline, outside the odd tower or two in Fulton Market. WFH has been absolutely crushing office space demand.

Making this project primarily residential with retail is the way to go. I would love for JDL to go with more high rises, but short of some sort of dedicated transit planning (BRT or rail), I don't think the area's infrastructure could handle that much density. We might see a more low and mid rise proposals from JDL, unless they work with the city on some very expensive transportation upgrades; the previously mentioned transit, fixing the Courtland/Ashland/Armitage clusterf*ck, dedicated bus lanes on Ashland, etc.
