Still seems so.... "blah". I guess it's better than a sandy parking lot but it looks so non-descript.

It definately won't win any design awards, but adding some glass and storefronts on the corners and Laura Street will help give people a reason to wonder into the gulf that divides Springfield from Downtown.

The renderings don't do it much justice.  The brick and architecture are simple but should look pretty good when the building is finished.

Well, I attend to agree with most others.  It's better than the present lot, however, it still leaves much, much to be desired.   These buildings are tired, uninspiring, and just plain drab.  Where is the vision?
