The bus terminal itself will rise to 160 ft+. That's 16 stories in some cases. It will be a massive structure.

The skyscrapers above will be set back from the street.

Street level retail will go a long way to activating the streets along this massive building, great considering the various residential developments being built around it.

I would prefer it if the deck over lot 10 were extended over to 10th Avenue to get the full block park.

One thing about this terminal, as I mentioned earlier, it will be 160 ft+, more than twice the height of the current terminal.

To put that into perspective, it will be higher than the first setback of the McGraw Hill Building, wrapping around from 8th Avenue to 11th Avenue.
