The Burton Barr Library, for example, is set back from Central and many of his other projects have a desert feel. That's not necessarily bad, but not what I'd envision on a relatively small parcel at 5th Street & Van Buren. It will be interesting to see what this looks like if it goes forward.
I also wasn't able to find any instances of North American Development Group building high rise residential. Apparently they mostly develop shopping centers? Which is somewhat concerning. I guess NADG and Bruder did just recently collaborate on Eldorado on 1st in Scottsdale (http://eldoradoon1st.com/), so there has been some success there. Useless to speculate I guess.
