Everyone is. Investing in office is like buying Intel stock

I mean it is Linden - not exactly somewhere one should really be out walking around

Yes, that one. Their architects need their licenses examined. They try so painfully hard to value engineer buildings that they end up costing more due to redesign than if they would have just done it right the first time, and the building is still ugly.

Is Geis behind it? Their work is absolute garbage.

Yeah but they move at a snail's pace. They aren't in a rush and therefore aren't as pressured about the current finances.

There's a financing issue. That has to be it. Too many projects have been approved and disappeared. Pizzuti coming back value engineering their design proves it. They're trying to approve anything that will add housing at this point. Its kinda funny how Linden is getting nicer developments than downtown at this point smh.

It was never realistic. Who was going to use it? Schools? Just can't justify that kind of cost. MAYBE you could get some concerts in, but something of that size just wouldn't have a draw otherwise. We already have nationwide and JSC, and those don't get utilized every day to begin with.

They cut out more of the angular details as well. It just looks boring again.

The patio is there, just much smaller. Not a fan as you can't see the people/activation as much from the street.

Reason: cost cutting. I don't buy the fact they didn't know it was going to cost that much when they first designed it. They're just trying to cheap out now.

They don't? Not the ones I saw at the commission.

CAPA project turned to crap. They got rid of the second level terrace and bar area.

The bike obsession is extremely overrated. We live in Ohio. This is just not a bike-friendly climate. Some may use them, but it will never get to a point that a meaningful portion will. Walking - depends on the density of the area. Most likely is car and public transit. (Btw those scooters are the worst investment ever)

I like what this proves, but hate every bit of how it looks.

They should bury those utility lines.

I was hoping they'd knock that garage down, not try to make it more obvious. It's hideous.

Not bad looking at all!

Edwards is no dummy but I think this one might not go as far as you'd think

That's actually me

Not a chance.

This one’s a complete head scratcher.

They need to stop making storefronts so sterile. Geez.

Not up to date. Not the missing garage expansion.

That’s not a lot for an airport. Seems expensive - construction costs are through the roof. For example, they should continue the skylights throughout the gates, instead of a flat ceiling. Most other airports do that. The color scheme throughout is largely white - the cheapest color to build with (for whatever reason). There’s no APM planned to access the current parking garage and surface lots. It’s better, but its nothing to run home about.
