I normally support development like this but mostly when it is taking over a parking lot. I'm not very thrilled about this as I think it takes away from the neighborhood/character of this part of midtown. Restaurants in old homes with massive patios under established trees is a lot more appealing than a massive glass building with a slight possibility of occupied retail space.
I'd rather see both restaurants either go under new management to improve service/food and a third restaurant take over the blue house in the middle and turn the valet service up front into another large patio. Does this create more density, no, but it creates a vibrant block attracting people so much more than another apartment tower.

I couldn't agree more.
