It appears that the design has been reworked a bit...I'm interpreting this as an overall site layout similar to Building 1 (300 Somerset); basically that project will be more or less in the shape of a U, with the building running five stories for the full length of the block along RR Ave, but a courtyard facing south and creating a wide gap along Cifelli (with a one-story enclosed connector along Cifelli between the two ends of the U). It also sounds like in place of some of the retail space, there will be a cafe owned/operated by the developer.
