Now I do like this project - I think it's just about as good as anything you'd expect from a private developer. I just don't understand why people were expecting the Church to go above and beyond. It's just not in their DNA. I never had high expectations for this project.

Ok. But, just remember this:

The church has a choice to work with the developer to pick designs. Why they settle on the current one is anyone's guess. I'm glad there's progress with this lot, but disappointed with the design. And just an observation, they pick Exeter as the developer who specialty isn't really in high-rise construction building.
