How so? Has the proposal been changed from what we saw originally? I do see that they are going to provide a small space for cultural/community use, which seems a plus. Also some (undefined) affordable housing.
I didn't read it in too much detail to begin with, so I'm not sure if it's changed, but the parking is relatively limited (still too much, IMO), and includes charging stations, a lot of bike parking, outside and inside is specified. The company seems to have paid attention to streetscaping and wind effects, and it is a mixed use development, so streetscape should be pretty interesting. Amenities in the building look pretty good. As far as affordable housing, Drewlo buildings have been fairly affordable to middle class folks, if this is anything like that, it should be good--although if it included actual affordable housing that would be even better.
