To add 2-cents to this: If I was looking for a rental downtown this would be the first building I would consider. For me it is the energy efficiency and the rooftop gardens.

Public spaces help fill the gap but generally discourage digging and planting (haha). Private spaces like these gardens help fill the rest of the gap.
