Believe me, I agree with this. The material palette for the building is a great choice; just not the color palette, depth of materials used, or certain elements of the design scheme. Everything else looks good.
Any development at this point is awesome for the city in terms of growth. Me, personally, I've never understood the feeling of letting nostalgia get in the way of change. While Penny Lane was nice, downtown is evolving; and who's the say the new property won't be as nice, if not more? There's enough history downtown that I don't think destroying Penny Lane for development will be that big of a deal. the only way a city moves forward is by letting go of the past - the same works for urban growth.
