The parcel sits just outside the historic district, thus it didn't have to adhere to the typical design guidelines in the area. Believe or not, the earlier versions were worse - what we see is after significant revisions. Should be a good project with a positive impact in the area.

This is a good project. Obviously I always want designs to be aspirational, but it is additive to the vibrancy of Five Points, Memorial Park, Cummer Museum, and other things walkable in that area.

I would like a project like this to replace some parking lot in a number of locations around the city. Also kind of crazy but the "Riverdale Inn" is the only real hotel right there in historic riverside area right?

Yeah, there are a few in Brooklyn but nothing as walkable as this to areas like 5 points, the cummer, RAM, memorial park, etc.

Home 2 Suites on Park Street is the closest hotel to 5 Points currently, certainly walkable to those various mentioned locations, but the proposed hotel will be in the middle of those various mentioned locations.
