It's certainly not going to win any design awards, but beats a parking garage for sure. The building also has 3 floors dedicated to assisted living units btw - it's a wealthy Senior Center on Sansom--I'm trying to grasp this aspect of it.

Does a well off 70 year old, in good health, who wants to enjoy the city lifestyle and has money to burn, also want to share amenity space with perhaps, 90-95 years olds, perhaps not so much with it anymore mentally, nurses, wheel chairs, etc?
Agree. The base is great. The remainder of the building is just average. I'm not so sure the amenity space will be shared. The first 3 floors for assisted living and memory support look to have their own "activity" and outdoor spaces as well as a fitness space, living and dining spaces, and a "spas".
