The massing is too big. Not a big fan of the office portion of it. I like the two buildings closer to the park. The office is boring, too bulky, fortress-like, corporate, sterile. The development needs to be more human scale or they need to use more natural material for the office building like red brick or even limestone.

The office being against the Beltline is the worst part of it. Last thing people on the Beltline want to see is huge bulky corporate office buildings...you can go to downtown/Midtown for that. You got a human scale, cool brewery across the Beltline, then this hulking sterile glass structure on the other side....just doesn't make sense.

In the original renderings, they split the two office buildings up to give less of a bulky mass. To me, the whole thing has gone downhill.

There was another developer who has proposed a multi-building project for this site and I thought it was a lot better and more human scaled and used better materials. Can't find it now.
