This development should be along the waterfront and on this site should be maybe a 300 or 400 foot tower. MUCH more appropriate for the area. This is just completely ridiculous looking
Good city planning is building to critical mass, than building up... not building a 70 story tower when the area is not built to critical mass... IMO I think this will saturate the market for a few years and Phase 2 and 3 will never get built.
This is just as farfetched as the Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn by Forest City Ratner.
If this development was on the waterfront I'd be all for it... but here?! Crazy I tell ya  |
Wha?- are you being ironic? I don't get it.
