Looks like the building looming off of 8th Ave S that i'm sure many of us (including myself) have wondered what it is... is now open.

It looks like a very stylish and urban building, from what you can see of the outside from a vehicle

I agree with jice. RoomInn is an attractive building. The design firm is 12South-based Oxford Architecture. I'm hoping to get some info from the firm and to use in a post for my blog. I like this building.
