I'll have to wait until I see it finished. I have yet to be impressed by any faux-heritage building in these parts -- Bishop's Landing, the Marriott Residence Inn, Neptune, The Tower at St Mary's. Most end up looking bogus and less attractive than something modern designed for the same site. The jury will remain out for a while.
