Disappointing use for the location. What about the first story commercial units. One would have thought this is a location for amore imposing structure.
It definitely looks like this building will have ground floor commercial space. I doubt it the entire first floor will be used as the residential lobby.
This building actual got a FAR bonus due to the inclusion of a fresh grocer at the ground floor. Walking by the retail portion has fairly wide doors probably to accommodate deliveries and such.
