I always knew it was along Nationwide Boulevard, because why would the tear down the LC Pavilion and build more offices?The first time I looked at it I thought the edge of the building on the far left was the east side of Huntington Park. When you have a whole neighborhood built out of brick buildings of a similar height, these renderings can be a little disorienting. ;)

Next a street car would make this a 100% Urban Neighborhood, or even a bus route. Do buses even run down Neil?

Even more exciting. Since I don't have a subscription to the article, are there any other things that stick out that they bring up?Nothing else in particular sticks out in the article.
For whatever reason I failed to see in the CU article the full site plan was shown. I didn't realize their was access to the Flats on Vine I on Neil right at the railroad tracks. I was thinking people from Flats on Vine II would have walk down Neil and up Vine st and use the main entrance. It wouldn't make too much sense having walkway between the two because it wouldn't line up properly.
I wonder whats in store for the greenspace just south of phase 2?

Generally, 8-10 story construction is more expensive per square foot than 5 or less.Totally agree on that, but with the demand there, I just wondered if a taller complex would be better at meeting that demand. I'm guessing the numbers don't work for a taller complex (BTW, I'm fine with the 5 story building, I just wondered if a 8 story one would meet the demand better)

I'm guessing the demand is there, but maybe not for more expensive units, which they would be if they increased the height. They probably have a pretty specific price point they want to hit, and that's what is driving the height of the building, more than the number of units.

Anyone else notice the landscaping in front of the Columbia Gas buildings? I don't remember seeing any in the renderings. I hope that green goes away in the actual design.

that green space is probably there for crowd control purposes.. so you're not "hearding cattle" down a narrow alley for Clippers games and events at the LC.. also may be a nice place for vendors to set up for those events as well

Wouldn't you want more sidewalk for large crowds?
It just seems odd in a downtown to have a landscape buffer in front of the "storefront". The grass tree island isn't so bad, but the landscaping in front of the building should go.

I'm sitting in an office on Nationwide *right now* and I can tell you it's really nice too look out the window and see treetops. They are also great when it's really hot and sunny, by providing some shade to the sidewalk; they provide a little fresh O2 to the atmosphere, and in general, they just look nice. A whole lot nicer than endless acres of brick and concrete.
