For me, this proposal is one humongous miss. They're trying to cram as many apartments into the space while spending the very least to do it. I'm downright shocked that people aren't railing against this one.

I agree with your opinion but I'm not going to worry about this happening anytime soon. Phase II of AAT (Oregon Square) is further along in the design process, for one thing, which would have as many units as this one. Somehow, I don't see Lloyd as quite warranting this level of intense development, at least in the short term. Timing, of course, is extremely important. So what's really going on here? Possibly it's to maximize the development potential of the parcel and then flip it for a nice profit. We'll see but there's a whiff of desperation in this design.
