I've been to their website and seen the renderings. I'm not sure if those are the conceptuals you're referring to. But yes, it's classic, from top to bottom and the architecture would snuggle in nicely to the surrounding neighborhood. I also really liked the townhome idea and the huge sidewalk area with benches etc looked great as well. SH snooty…

It’s a beautiful building and would be a shame if it didn’t get built at a different location." . . WTH? Are you kidding? Have you actually SEEN the conceptuals? It was another tall, anonymous highrise. It had no distinguishing features, and was certainly nothing to brag about. QUOTE/Jessie M

Had he torn down the garage, he would not have been able to rebuild due to setbacks put in place since the garage was built. He also could not build out the way he wanted due to same setbacks.
