I thought there was a parking garage in the base. But maybe that's underground from the looks of the pictures. The concrete work does look beastly.

It looks like the edges of th floor plates are thicker than the floor plates themselves are which gives the impression that they are much thicker than they really are. I do agree though that this thing looks like a bunker so far.

I still would have greatly preferred them restoring that beautiful Art Deco tower that was there and having them build this on the billion other vacant parking lots downtown.

Same here. That, or they could have kept the art deco building still and still put the new high rise right next door. Opportunity missed.
