So crazy to see all of this density go up across from the empty field. I hope the city can divide the field up into smaller parcels and take another shot at selling them. I'd far rather see a small cluster of independent developed builds than I would one large cluster of buildings that look the same. also the breakup into smaller cluster makes for smaller less costly projects and creates opportunity for a lot more developers.

I hope Westbrook stays low rise and high density. Maybe one high rise at the NE corner? Westbrook can be an anchor for West 17th, it has a lot of what other parcels like Currie, University District, and Trinity Hills would kill for, most prominently a underground light-rail station.
 
I would like to see Westbrook end up a low rise district, like a mini version U/D. Throw in a couple of taller buildings, maybe a 16 floors and a 12 floor tower to give it a urban vibe. The station entrance could be integrated into a mixed use retail complex.

Must be limited on what can go above the LRT line?
 
I would think they took that into account when designing the LRT tunnel there. Just don't bear directly on the tunnel and buildings should be good.
The comment might be referring to the fantasy map above, which is good for scale, but would not be possible to build exactly as shown due to the relatively shallow tunnel.
 
Good to see something happening in the area. Surprised the city hasn't flipped the Westbrook site yet, wonder if CMLC is creating some sort of master plan first.
They're well positioned with their relationships with developers to be able to get a read on interest for the site.
