To be honest, I think the building is fugly. It might look a bit better when retail fronts are viewable..
On the other hand, The Viva Plaza (Amber Building) looks beautiful. If they can lock in a good restaurant or brew pub, it should be a great corner stone for the Ashland-Damen stretch of Chicago Ave. Beautiful buildings along that stretch of Chicago
What's with allowing condo/apartment buildings to be built on the corner of main streets with the front facing the side street and no retail? I drove by one on Chicago Ave and Elizabeth (south side) and also noticed one at Chicago and Noble (south side). Who allows this stuff?
