The whole neighborhood needs an upgrade retail wise. Mf’s buying condos for $10 million+ don’t want to be near a Rainbow, Burlington, and a bunch of other low bro storefronts that attracts “the poors” (from their perspective lol)

Downtown BK is unique in that it never went through the bohemian phase of gentrification. It’s zooming right into the upscale transition. What we’re seeing is an awkward manifestation of this change.

I noticed that. You pretty much have to get up to a 3BR price point to get a decent layout. Partly the building footprint plus ADHD bathroom/hallway requirements.

Yes, about 1/3 rd of the square footage is a practically unusable space comprising the foyer/hallway… 
I guess there were some tricky trade-offs that needed to be made to work with the odd shaped (an somewhat small) footprint of the building.
The Vitruvian Triad: Beauty, Usefulness, Solidity - so, 2 out of 3 is not bad.
