they have a banner ad with a rendering up on-site.

I like this one a lot. Very nice proportions, three street frontages (but not retail?) and large but well-scaled windows. With its small floor area, it's right in scale with the other midrises and smaller buildings around it. It reminds me of the Medical Arts tower.

See architects? Inserting a modern highrise into an older human-scale really isn't that hard if you make a few considerations, and that doesn't mean tacking on fake brick for "context".
