It's good to point out that the required insulation for roofs in cold climates, along with the parapet of a flat roof, makes it really hard to avoid the heavy look. There are ways to avoid it, but it's really challenging to work out massing when the top floor maximizes window height - it just ends up looking even bulkier without some articulation.
I've yet to hear a decent explanation from anyone re: random rectangles.

Yes, but it’s the being extended out over the balconies part that’s becoming quite common, especially in Marda Loop. That’s what makes the parapet a prominent feature as opposed to just being the wall of the building.

Is there anything proposed for that site where the building is being demoed? (pic in above post)

Look at how wide that bridge is. It's going to be so nice compared to the old narrow one.

If memory serves me, there is an affordable housing proposal for that location.
This was something proposed for that parcel .Not sure if it's still in play or not.

To give you an idea of the age of that proposal, Hat East Village is still labelled as "Proposed Residential Development"

I hope that’s not what we get. The podium looks like a Cidex bunker.

I don’t remember, but is Local staying as part of the long term renovations of Eau Clare or is it being demolished? Kind of hope it stays.
