I can't really tell from the rendering if they plan hand-laid brick, or even if they plan brick, all the way up, on all the walls. Landmarks apparently hasn't yet even had a discussion with the developer.
I fear the large number of studio units will be what concerns the neighbors most, and I think the Transportation Building Condo Assn will have to consent to the amendment of their PD to allow this—indeed to allow anything on this parcel. As I read PD 206, only 104 du's are unused, and almost no FAR is unused.
Floors 1-3 appear to be red brick. I wish the entire building was red brick with dark grey/beige brick accents instead of three colors, but that is not going to happen.
My problem is it really doesn't mesh with its neighbors all that well.
Yeah, the rendering isn't stellar. Kinda reminds me of the crappy early images Fitzgerald released of the Westerly, North + Vine, etc. Maybe they'll end up surprising us?
Wow, that last shot is amazing. And loving how 800 W. Fulton is turning out. I still prefer the brown brick in the renderings, but the red brick doesn't look half bad either.
This building isn't that big but it's turning out to at least LOOK much larger than I had expected. Because of its location, it's showing up in a lot of perspectives by surprise.
