I agree the 1643 building could look decently nice with some good restoration work. In the end, it's a balance of money and what the developer wants to do. I think the problem is the existing building doesn't support the number of units or size of retail/commercial for the developer. Restoring the building, building something next to it and attaching them would cost a bit still, too.
Luckily upon looking more closely at the renderings, it doesn't look like complete shit. I like the stuff used on the first floor and it does look more like cast iron which would be pretty cool.
