I'm more concerned about the final product being a decent fit for the town. There is no reason it can't be, but as we've seen with many other new developments they end up looking so cheap.

Like I said about two neighboring property developments - they may not look entirely cheap, but when you plug in 30+ units on a private drive, and consider it "kind of a village", but there is no village, and because it is private, self contained residential, it does not fit into the urban fabric. Self-contained fakery.
This project, OTOH takes up a large lot, but it ought to integrate into the streetscape more genuinely because it is a more complex, but singular building. It contributes more to the aesthetics of Wilson Street than those fake townhome "villages".
