I don't see why that would be disappointing. As long as the amount of office space in DTBK doesn't decrease.

Depends on the supply and demand, if all that is being supplied are new units for the very wealthy, not saying this specific building is only for the wealthy, then there is no increase in supply for those that are seeing their rents increase. While I was in Brooklyn for a couple of years, I was basically seeing people of old Brooklyn being priced out for trust fund kids to simply take over because that is all who could afford to live within inner Brooklyn. It was a very sad reality to experience.
As for the overall look, the residential tower is becoming the prominent buildings within the Brooklyn skyline, it is just a bit disappointing that we aren't seeing it grow as a commercial center. I am not saying that is good or bad, just a reflection of my personal feelings about the future of Brooklyn.
