Having seen more than a tiny pea sized rendering myself I'd have to say it is neither ugly nor uninspired, but actually quite nice. It needs much refining from it's current preliminary state, but it's well on it's way to going in the right direction. I'd just like it to be another 100 feet taller.

I agree.
What bothers me is that if in fact the reduction in height is due to the West Broadway group, I am taken aback by this "small town" approach that many of these groups have. Do they not know there are in the nation's 6th most densely populated city and NE's second largest? But more than that; even with the Rt 95 barrrier they want to claim control over the area of Downcity. How does a 300' building in Downcity adversly impact the other side of Rt 95? How can the Mayor's (I believe) vision of a bigger/ taller PVD work if developers are constricted on height even in the Downcity area?
Did TPG and the city roll over and die? What good is a vision if it is not realized?
On the other hand; is TPG simply downsizing to market realities?

I'm sure the reduction has more to do with markets, cost and design changes. Everyone needs to remember EVERY render to date is only a concept of what the real render will look like.

Are there any expected dates for this project?

I actually came very close to posting the same thing yesterday. It does look like a slightly more modern version of that proposal.

They actually will need a variance for the small step back they have. That should change, step backs should be encouraged for tall buildings, or else everyone will really have a point when they complain about them looming over things.
