South Boston Infill and Small Developments

Why is the project at W Broadway and D keeping the first floor? I've noticed theyve kept the facades on the first floor on a few projects, this one, the Savin Hill Kitchen project and I think they did it in that project next to 7-11 on broadway in BEE's pictures as well... Is this to skirt permitting somehow?

I wonder how a lot of these are going to age. Theres a few really good buildings going up and tons of garbage. Sometimes when youre so worried about building at break neck speeds you dont get to sit back and realize maybe this is going to look like shit in 10 years.

Cross your fingers we'll all be dead by then.
