The larger massing was shown to the City to show that the office portion is being built to sustain future height.

This is essentially a 20-story residential tower with a block-wide podium; even that tower is unattractive given how wide it is.

The worst part is the ground floor plan, though. 90% of 1st St and Jefferson will be dead walls from the Fry's, where shallow retail bays could have been placed to integrate it and make it, well, urban. The space along Jefferson and 2nd st for residential amenities is also out of place with Colliers and TSA next door.
