I know this is great news, but I gotta admit that i'm super nervous about this project... Have any of you seen
Harold Funk's previous work?!? Let's just say, I'm not holding my breath judging from his previous residential work.
But even if he comes up with something that not straight outta 1989 and not butt fugly, when is the last time you've seen any of our high-end condo buildings bring any vibrancy to the neighborhood? The Edge "affordable" apartments on Princess brings more foot traffic than all of the "high-end" waterfront condos combined. 300 more people living downtown you say?... Waterfront brought 500+ yet Exchange Cafe a block away has to now close on evening/weekends cause high-end folks are too busy driving to other parts of the city to spend their money.
But I know, I know... it's good news and all... more people downtown... a shiny new tower.... yada-yada...
