I really just don't get why they decided to do a 99-year office lease. Were they really that desperate to get the deal done? Maybe it's hard to find retailers who want to be shut up in this big, old concrete hulk of a building with no flashy sign and which is not easy to access?
In my mind, the power plant should be full of souvenir shops and museum exhibits. Allegedly, there will be some exhibits inside showcasing the history of the power plant and the area and Austin, so I think people are overracting a little bit in that regard, but it's still not what it could be. But it's still a good development, overall.
