I really like Sandburg Village. The designers paid attention to detail, and it shows. With a mix of towers and townhouses, it's not any less dense that what it replaced. It's thoroughly modernist, well-landscaped, and urban. Unlike Dearborn Park, it doesn't cut off the street grid - you can drive through at Schiller and walk through at Burton Place.
Of course, I've heard the actual apartments are awful and the place is poorly managed, but that's a separate discussion from the design.
Sadly these neat little Morris columns are gone...
