Also having a wide open hardscape would further accent how freaking dope this design is and create a more sculptural base along the river. Having two huge new parks along the river will be awesome, but having a huge new park and a huge new plaza right next to each other along the river would be awesomer.

While I agree, I think it's important to mention that the park aspect of the design was necessary for selling the 150 N. Riverside project to the neighboring condo owners at Randolph Place.
