The new building fits in well enough with the Lake Shore skyline. The former buildings may have been cool in the prior years, but cannot re reused under today's building codes and the environmental cost from the hospital cleanup only adds to the mix. These buildings are tax sponges and this city needs the revenue without raising taxes further.

Stop. You...Please just stop, armchair architects. Stop. You don't own this land, and no one gives a wet fort for your opinion. This should have been approved years ago, but it wasn't because the alderman mistakenly believes that non- stakeholder opinions matter. There is no hospital here, just some nice stained glass to pilfer.Anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427312583714675522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-46148858707790658282015-11-17T11:19:50.020-06:002015-11-17T11:19:50.020-06:00I know that the development could be better, but i...I know that the development could be better, but it's most likely the best that site will get. I'm excited for the progress this would provide for the community. On a personal note, the hospitals are objectively hideous, and you are correct that it would be more expensive to retrofit than to knock down.Chris S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00783368674448817090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-27234494497101434902015-11-17T07:22:40.967-06:002015-11-17T07:22:40.967-06:00I really want to see this corner developed but wha...I really want to see this corner developed but what they are proposing is just so ... blah, ugly. Can't they come up with a facade that's slightly less cookie cutter?<br />I also wish they or someone would preserve the adult hospital as it is. The children's is just weird but the adult hospital is pretty cool with the big curve. I'm sure the cost to retrofit is probably not worth it, but that is such a cool building.ThisGirlThinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300738762526742280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-85244902366431339322015-11-16T17:28:39.017-06:002015-11-16T17:28:39.017-06:00Beautiful.
