Palma's website also has renderings of a glassy tower grafted on top of the Drake Hotel. Wonder when they'll break ground...

It will probably break ground around the same time that this design breaks ocean

Are we sure this is a real thing?

I was gonna say, please tell me those are real and not just a concept. Bummer

You’ve gotta wonder if a lot of developers are really just trying to lock in entitlements before an upcoming increase in Affordable Housing requirements, which are inevitably going to make projects more difficult to pull off

Not the most inspired design, but Rozak always delivers something good.

^Nice! Don't care for the design, but there is a lot of space in Uptown for more development. This was posted yesterday:

It's definitely an improvement over the previous design. There are four other buildings with-in a few blocks currently under construction

You know, regardless of the design, we don’t see enough courtyard-style high rises these days like we did in the early 20th century.

It’s nice to see developers still going with this layout

[Skyguy_7]

^ Agreed.

It's also nice to see they oriented this one in the proper direction to catch all the rays.
