New Lofts at Cherry Street

^^Are those the LEED lofts?  They are much nicer.  They actually face the front.  How do they fit with others structures in terms of set backs & heighth?

I think so.  The article talks about a lot of weird, hippie stuff.[]  I just remembered the curves, and I noticed them again as I drove by.  Took me a while to google this, I can't even find their website.  It doesn't look like it's going to poke out too far.

These are going to be better.  Better street presentation, no driveway, alley access.  Much better design.

I agree.  I think the exterior is a far better design, but the interior is WACKED!  The push for LEED certification was at the cost of decent use of space. . . and the proposed solar system on the top is completley blocked by a huge tree.  
Also, I'm not sure they actually made LEED certification.  I think it was just a goal.
