Throwback designs can work of done right.

The state has plans to bulk up office and residential density in the capitol complex by divesting itself of far flung offices and replacing them in the core in a minimal number of buildings while simultaneously selling off many of its inconsequential holdings in the capitol complex to high density developers. I.E. the long term prospects here look to form a second skyline. An "uptown" if you will.
