This looks very nice but I’m wondering how it will sell.
Massing diagrams? The earlier section diagrams look like the renderings with a flat eastern facade. The western facade looks interesting.

Surprising progress. There’s already facade. Looks like precast panels faced with stone.

The brick facade looks nice: but sure is not traditional hand-laid brick work. This photo reveals how these ‘brick facades’ are made. The thickness of the brick is only about 1/4" and is applied to a concrete slab, which is then bolted to the edges of each floor plate. This is not a ‘bad thing’ - but not the ‘real thing’.
This is a photo from a new building going up downtown on 21st street; but this facade is constructed in a similar fashion.
If one is going to design a ‘traditional’ building; then the methods and material need be the ‘traditional’ real deal. IMHO
This is another one of my reasons for preferring modern architecture.
I accept the need for these faux methods and materials; all the traditional masonry trades are gone for good.
