I forgive them to the extent that they were the first developer to really take a chance, but beyond that, they are ugly and lookg and are completely out of place and out of scale being built right on Woodward. They kind of redeemed themselves with the Garden Lofts, though. Now that I think about it, didn't they do the renovations for the Brownstones on John R. pictured above? I guess I was a little harsh on them. They got better as they went on, mostly. I hadn't heard they'd liquidated.
But, yeah, I have much greater hope for development than the renaissance of the early 00's, when you really had folks with a lot of heart, but not a whole lot of experience. People are both dreaming bigger things and doing bigger things than they once were. I have all the confidence in the world that we're going to get a quality project or two out of this.
