Care needs to be taken that the character of the proposed buildings meets an upscale look. For example, those new apartments in the old pear orchard at Englewood and Powerhouse are an abomination. The colors and construction lines are ugly imitations of someone's idea of what? Quaint? Rustic?. They will soon be full of farm workers to boot.
