The thing I especially love about that is the fact that the midrises of Phase 1 are all clearly shown with the almost exact details regarding their street level experience. Particular fears were that the McCarter Highway frontage on the lower right would be a fortress and that they would try to seal off public access from the street into the development.
That was a concern. I was wondering how they were going to deal with that elevation. Also, on the opposite side of the bridge, the Harrison development explosion continues. I used to walk across that bridge, so there could be pedestrian traffic both way.

But lol at the Airtrain in the 2nd pic. The city subway cars(light rail) look nothing like that.

The rail cars don't look like that. But in the end, the residential buildings probably won't look like that either.
