@Amare will articulate it a bit more harshly than me later on, but I think this is trending downhill.
Oh make no mistake about that, this is (if not already) trending towards absolute gutter trash which is the standard for Marlin Spring. I wish Hines didnt sell part of this development to this bottom-dweller developer.

Pre site photo. Was in the area discussing this building and others and the ideas/reasonings behind changes. Will be up to the developer if what is proposed (Not public yet in terms of materials, articulation) comes to fruition.

New rendering updated to the database. The total car parking changed from 106 car parking to 107 car parking. Finally, the total bike parking was reduced from 234 bike parking to 213 bike parking.

...if they water down that design anymore, it will all wash away. /sigh
 
Well, that paneling got replaced with what looks like maybe brick? So that's not much, but it's something.

But yeah. My run club meets at this intersection ever week and it's been frustrating seeing the potential of this area look like it's going to be buried under several lazily-designed developments...
 
We have a new story up on the front page detailing a resubmission here, pushing this proposal up from 14 storeys to 28. No new rendering, but this is one of the massing studies:
