I can understand complaints if it was in Midtown or Buckhead. The rents justify it($2-3+ per square feet). Rents in O4W are still not high enough to justify great designs. Apartments are made to house people. In the end, all that matters is what's inside and people will live there regardless of whether it is stucco, stone, brick, or metal plates.

You're probably right, but that doesn't mean I'm supposed to bust out in applause every time some bland soviet looking building gets built in my neighborhood. Am I supposed to be grateful just because someone is doing SOMETHING?
I will say that on the positive side it's far better looking than Alexan on Krog. I can say without hyperbole or exaggeration that Alexan is the single ugliest building I've ever seen.
