It's supposed to support the amenities and attractions in the East Village, as well as provide parking for the future arena, convention centre, the redeveloped Arts Commons, and eventually support the TOD development of the Rivers District and the Green Line. I don't hate it, but it definitely isn't the original design I was hoping it would be; that's what happens when things get value engineered. Happens to almost every project.
The cool thing is that Platform is designed to be converted entirely to residential if need be; the design is quite unique in that regard. There was a rendering once floating around with it as a converted residential structure; if I can find it I will share it.
