Good to see they got their gobs of above ground structured parking in considering it doesn't sit at the confluence of bus/trolley/subway intersection or anything...

It's about a 2 to 1 unit to parking ratio which isn't terrible in most circumstances, but yeah considering this a 3 minute walk from a MFL stop and right on the trolly line, it could have done better. I'm still liking the overall look, and as long as the ground floor is well done I'm pretty happy with it.

Is the parking garage part of the tower going to be left like that? I know it can't be totally enclosed but it looks very unfinished and terrible against the rest of the building. I'm hopeful they plan on adding something to help blend it in.

That's the rendering from the packet they filed with the City Planning Dept. I don't know how much they can legally deviate from it before occupancy permits can be denied. My knowledge in that realm is limited to Ohio and Kentucky.
It definitely appears that some kind of finish or cladding is planned for the garage.
The rendering shows the above ground garage cladded in glass. That would affect ventilation unless there is active ventilation system in the garage. It would be interesting to see what solution they have come up with on this one, if any.

Is this really any different than the ventilation needs associated with a multi-level underground garage? I assume they'll use a comparable system if this will be clad in glass.
Look's cool along the 36th street corridor - it's a neat mix of of retail, student housing, hotels, office, transit (trolley), and now apartments. It'll look even cooler when that Penn building goes up on Sansom.
