And for the sake of comparison...

The Emory site minus the Life of Georgia lot is 2.37 acres. In comparison, Icon Midtown and Whole Foods combined sit on 2.24 acres. Its somewhat understandable if one doesn't see the value in re-purposing older buildings. But the idea that that site can't be developed without demolishing the Life of Georgia building is just complete rubbish.
I'm missing your point. Both Skyhouses look like total shit.

PS: Atlanta3000 and whomever else wants to argue like y'all have been doing WILL GET BANNED.
