The 21C project, though, yes, that one falling through still hurts. Whitley is nice and all, but that tower they had planned for that site was one of the most interesting designs we've seen yet. The 2nd plan for it was less interesting, but still awesome since it would have been quite tall.

Tom never intended on building that tower. He was, at that time, simply trying to increase the value of his property for possible future sale...which happened this year to Stream (who, as a company, does not have a history of building tall/dense CBD towers).
In hindsight, I believe Tom spent too much time and money obtaining new zoning on the block (site). That's all I can say at this juncture.
