However, end of the day, I'm waaay happier with what they came back with than what was proposed. it does appear they listened and took some feedback and put it do good use.
A request that I think was well thought out. While a few preferred the taller version, an overwhelming majority of people did not. The changes made have been received warmly both here on the Rag and on Twitter and Facebook. The reaction is better than the last version.
Only other thing I think should be advocated for here is a potential reduction in parking. 1:1 is a little high, but also I am unclear on the unit mix. If it is 1:1 with a substantial number of 2br units (or, a man can dream, 3br) then 1:1 on a unit basis is probably alright. Regardless, this is looking good and I hope they can execute. Totally agree w/ comments that it looks like it should have been there all along.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 9:49 am we don't need tall in this city, we need density. Tall will come.
Can confirm it is a luxury brand (at this time) that would be new-to-market.Chris Stritzel wrote: ↑Thu Apr 06, 2023 11:12 pmI didn't hear anything about a particular hotel franchise beyond they were talking to some. I imagine this will be a middle-upper tier hotel flag.

I'm alright with this, to sort of repeat what I said above, should make sure the driveway crossing is at sidewalk height to slow cars, indicate that peds have ROW/priority.bspecht wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 12:13 pm Not sure I can get behind two curb cuts for a valet area (the are already two more on the same block at Crowne Plaza). Services like this do not belong in your most pedestrian-active area, should be against code in the Loop (I think it is?). The street is plenty wide for a loading zone out front.
