The Boardwalk elevation with the angles and glass has a nice mid-century modern touch to it. Some new life on the boardwalk is sorely needed. now if that horrible yellow building could only be developed next....
It looks like a solid plan.
The plans look nice.

Should be interesting. Grandview has been there forever...but the building has been getting worn down over the past several years.
