Building Up

When I earlier wrote about building taller buildings I noticed that some people assume that "tall building" means "apartment tower." But, it can just mean adding a couple of extra floors current building heights in the neighborhood. I'm not sure I like the look of this building which will be built not so far from Chez Atrios, but it has the right idea in terms of function - street level retail to integrate it with the rest of the street and underground parking. It isn't about demolishing existing blocks of houses, either. This development is replacing a surface parking lot.
