This is a huge improvement over a trashy looking discount treadmill outlet.

Underground parking is totally the right way to go - there are far better uses of land than storing cars, but parking is a necessary evil.

Any affordable housing in either project? Paying a minor fee to the city to avoid the affordable housing is a major disservice to our city.

Jeez, that's attractive. Four cubes with windows and a grand foyer entrance. Did KSH and KTGY interns design this building? Come on Menlo Park, we deserve better.

That KTGY seems to be doing all of the mundane junk these days- please let's insist on better

This looks like another Los Angeles style building. Zero character.

25 units! Hooray for more housing!

Even if these in particular aren't below-market rate, they will draw off pressure from rents and let 25 people enjoy their current market-rate apartments instead of being displaced. That's a good thing in and of itself.
