I agree with Takeo. I'd take MC, Fenwick and Cogswell any day over this piece of junk. This is garbage today and will be garbage everyday. The others all had some appeal in their day and reflect trends of that time. This, on the other hand, is why people hate developers. This guy gets more height than anyone else, more density, more units, and doesn't give anything back. Although, to be fair to the developer, as a Schedule Q DA, where materials and design easily could have been written into the contract, City Staff and Council really let this POS happen.
