If I had to choose between East Banc and Toll Brothers just on reputation alone it wouldn't be close at all: East Banc is far more in tune with what a city should be. Anthony Lanier, principal of East Banc, is a total urbanist (for instance, he wants to get rid of parking on M St. and double the sidewalks in Georgetown). Toll Brothers belongs near the central ring of real estate hell for their roll in the 2000's suburban sprawl bubble.

While the East Banc proposal does leave something to be desired visually, the Toll Brothers looks as much like a pile of trash as the East Banc one. It looks like every other cheapy-made-Panera-bread-housing crap that has been built since 2000.

[I'm awfully confused, though about the disparity in retail square footage. How can there been such a huge difference?]

I think the city will probably choose East Banc, if not just because they are willing to develop the fire station property as well. And I'm confident it's the right choice.
