OUP: How Big is the Back Building?

To continue the look at the One University Place project's buildings started in an earlier post, OUP How Big is the Front Building? we can now focus on the back building.

At a city council meeting, during public comment, it was  stated that the back residential building is as large as the Levitt Center on the UI campus.Let's compare those two buildings

One University Place:

Levitt Center:

Here is a breakdown of their comparative sizes:

Building	Height	Width	Length
OUP back bldg	Reception room 62’ 5th floor 50’	83’	280’
Levitt Center	Peaks- 92’ Parapet 84’	Office- 62’ Rotunda-102’	274’

In length and width One University Place is similar to the Levitt Center. The significant difference is in the height. The top of the major horizontal line at the Levitt Center is at 84', while the major horizontal at the top of One University Place is 30 feet lower.

Another good visual comparison is that the top of the cross at the current St. Andrew Church is 57'.

The closest home to the back building is at Birkdale which is 240 feet away.

Given that the building is sited at the back of the property and that ravines and mature trees are found on both the east and west sides, it seems to me that the back building is not over-sized for its surroundings.
