Hanover looks decent, definitely think it should be taller (10-12 stories) but the brick does fit well with the old brick buildings on Mill Ave. I don't see an immediate need for ground floor retail with the current vacancies on Mill Ave. as well as on 5th street just east of Mill (Light Rail Station and The Hub's soon to be ground floor retail).
Between the Tempe Town Lake plans, The Hub, The Hanover Project, The Grove, Residence Inn by Marriott and Argo - I think it's safe to say that Tempe is currently kicking Downtown Phoenix's ass in the development department. Now if a grocery store could just appear on Ash and University...
