Wow--that is odd. Hard to see how that isn't a design flaw. Imagine a mass exodus for whatever reason...

The lobby already looks dated and the building is barely even complete.
I was thinking exactly the same; seems sort of the polar opposite of "timeless design."
with all the bubbles, but as is, it really is a questionable trypophobia-inducing bizzaro...
i estimate the building to be less than half occupied even though most units have been turned over. just look at the 50+ rental listings right now... so the lobby isn't as crowded as one might assume... but once everyone is moved in, this is gonna be insane...
the head of GG essentially said that no one wants lobbies anymore
it's insane how some parts of this building (amenities and elevators) are top of the line amazing while other parts (the lobby and unit finishes) are just downright pathetic...
no one wants lobbies anymore because it costs too much to maintain and that's why it's so small.
I live here and I agree that it is too narrow. After work from 3-7 pm, you have to physically move out of the way when someone is coming out of the elevators opposite of you because there is nowhere else to stand.
I think too much of the lobby space was given up in exchange for the retail. The lobby was mentioned as a concern at the building meeting and the head of GG essentially said that no one wants lobbies anymore because it costs too much to maintain and that's why it's so small. I think that's a cheap excuse and I'm glad I didn't buy, this experience has soured me to the developers.
