Re: Hayward Place
Well, for once I'm going to the one to say that I'd rather the parking lot than that steaming pile of horse dung.
For starters, 15 stories is an insult to that area where literally across the street you have two 500 foot buildings. Sorry to the condo owners there, but they own bricks and mortar. Last I checked, condo fee didn't cover the view. Frankly, if we can't build up where tall buildings are already part of the landscape, what hope do we have for any projects that push the envelope a bit?
Second, that first rendering is awful. The second one isn't too bad but it still should be 20 stories taller.
Sorry, but many of the same here accepting this yet who decry building for building's sake in other situations, this one is a dud. I'll be happy to see this one remain (criminally) a parking lot until a serious proposal comes along.
