I must say, and knowing this will be developed one way or another, this is a horrendous location for a development like this. Too many people, and the only access is right at the rotary (which will soon be a signaled intersection). No other way in or out.
 
The price per square foot for the market rate condos in this location should justify real brick… not panelling. This will be especially obvious given the proximity to the original building. One more example of a silly number of facade styles. At least it doesn’t have alternating windows.
