Agreed. I would actually be okay with scrapping the residential, for now, if they vastly increased the retail/office component. With that said, I cannot imagine how retail in that area can be succesful without a large residential component. Large swaths of retail in Hartford without increased residential will only further the 9-5 image of the city. Granted, I think if you are only going to build 115 apartments you really might as well just not build any. That is such a joke compared to the two residential towers originally planned for this area. I am slightly shocked that Larry G or the Wolman's never took this area over ... I am starting to fear that Nitkin is going to build a strip mall. This type of development looks like something that Larry G would just be drooling over the chance to take a stab at as if it was succesful it would like increase the value of his other properties in town, much like his arena plan.
