Nevertheless, this project is more than promising. More please!

In any case it looked better than the last proposal by Harvard in 2008.
The +15s are a necessity for the winter if this is going to have an office building plus all that residential. There isn't any residential in downtown right now that has +15 access (3 Eau Claire eventually). If this trend continues, it might help draw more residents into the core who both live and work there.
