I actually prefer it to the faux budget thin-veneer historic crap. If only they had put screens or something over the openings of the parking floors, I would like it more. It looks like a building that's still under construction.
I like it a lot more now because it is built out. The restaurant has an outdoor dining area in front, and there is a bike share on the sidewalk of the other facade. Those two items automatically make the sidewalk feel more inviting & walkable to pedestrians.

IMO, one of the more important factors in "walkability" is the ground floor treatment of buildings along the walking corridor. Ground floors with bland & flat glass storefronts are usually pretty boring to walk around.
