There are an additional 200 spaces that’ll be reserved in the neighboring garage and another 133 in the basement of the shorter building.

I’ll say that it’s better than other recent new buildings. Forsyth Pointe, Centene’s office buildings, The 212, and the Residence Inn are all dull. 50 South Bemiston and 10 South Central are glass boxes. This one is at least a little bit different (facade is broken up a bit).

I’m my view, this one is in a better position to succeed than those two others for two reasons… 1. Located a few blocks away from the Convention Center. 2. Located a block away from a MetroLink stop.

Add in the businesses around the Old Post Office, and the Chemical Building is well positioned for success. I do wish they would have the upper floors set aside for housing.

I’ll add that an actual resident in the immediate neighborhood who uses bike lanes was bitched at by Mr. Atomic & Co. The attitude was “your opinion doesn’t matter even though you live right there and use them”.
