Using real granite today is a rare feat and I applaud the developers for taking the high road. It puts to shame all those other traditional buildings and townhomes that have gone up in recent years (which are about as authentic as Olive Garden).
I have high hopes for the tower, too.

I know McBane. I've seen you mention how much you don't like, or "hate" (such passion, such negativity!) other buildings too because you personally identity them as "faux historic design". Well, many of us like it, and that's why they get built. If everyone "hated" them, they wouldn't get build now would they?
I and others, prefer traditional design, and taking designs directly from our past, even from centuries ago. Of course for the most part modern materials will be used. Why wouldn't modern materials be used? Typically they are more efficient, easier to work with, and yes, more affordable.
More affordable is a feature, not a bug.
You are entitled to your opinion for sure but damn dude, you are friggin negative and your comments don't promote discussion but rather hinder it.
You can post without "having to worry about walking on eggshells" for sure. But at the same time I can call you out for the negative affects many of your posts have on a few of the
Philadelphia threads.
