Wow, you don’t see quotes like this in the apartment building’s marketing materials.

Pulled this from an email going around right now that is discussing a proposed project for 1605 Bellevue Avenue Project on Capitol Hill. Couldn’t pass up this comment from 1605 Bellevue Ave’s presubmittal conference about a neighboring building that is clearly seen as a mistake.

“The Hawthorne” - a recent mixed-use building situated directly across
Bellevue Avenue from the proposed site is a glaring failure. In its
half-hearted decoration and ignorance of context, it may be an object
lesson in contradicting the neighborhood personality.”

Ouch! Visit the Hawthorne Apartments web site.
