Interesting, do tell more. Do you know the location of where these would be? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarklyMoron Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I hate it: the scale, the destruction of symmetry between the north and south sections, the failure to sustain the distinctive elements of the shopping center, etc. I don't begrudge them diversifying their portfolio, especially with retail becoming more precarious. But, I also think they could have preserved the front facade and still built the tower in the back. Any architectural integrity remaining in that historic shopping center is pretty much gone now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The north and south sides were not symmetrical. And the architectural integrity of this shopping center was pretty much gone with their prior "updates". 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatguysly Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The parking podium had a little more detail to them on this angle in the rendering. Looking very RD. I know the West Gray and east side are better but the west side is bland. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
