This is where I was expecting the first hotel to go, but I suppose it can still be a race?

It may not be the most popular take, but I think this one might actually be too dense..

It looks nice, but almost comes off as a luxury finished Kowloon on the ground. While the open plaza idea is great, it's going to be perma-shadowed with four towers like that. Maybe lose the SE tower but keep the podium part?
 
SE tower looks to be the hotel component with a perma-dark north facing pool deck. Personally not my favourite design as I feel all the lush greenery will never happen, and it doesn't really blend well with the buildings in that area. Also it feels like the sort of project that will be planned to be built in phases and will be only partially built for the next 20 years

Whether that concept ever happens or not, it’s good to see developers starting to treat pedestrian-only courtyards and corridors between buildings in a multi-phase development as real positive assets and amenities.

Seems like a generation of buildings could never figure out what to do with these spaces, often just trashy surface parking, loading or lacklustre landscaping. Good to see this changing in more development.

This is a great point, there seems to be a class of new buildings taking this seriously, with the District at Beltline, Vesta Broadway, the Riff (soon), and now this. Even Park Central is pretty dignified and fancy even though it's just a loading space.

I wonder how well some of those businesses do given that they're off the main street - hopefully enough of these are built that expectations shift, diverting some of that main street traffic into the hidden areas.

Even the BLVD to its West has another phase supposedly, no?
 
Yes on the area they made a dog park as a placeholder for tower 3.
