At least now there'd be a better looking 16-story building than the current 13-story one. (I searched but I couldn't find a rendering... sorry.)

But I digress... yes, better buildings over height for the short term because height will eventually make its presence known as available space fills up.
Are you talking about the Texas Theater?
