But still, if it doesn't make sense for Hines (for all the reasons I've already mentioned that office + residential towers don't make nearly as much sense as they used to (if they ever really did!), suggestion and encouragement will prove to be a waste of time and effort. Perhaps the only thing that could make a difference is an offer of $, but I definitely believe the only reason the LaSalle St TIF should be tapped for this project is for the addition of a very valuable public amenity - ie the waterfront amenities that may be part of the development, and not to have Hines add 20 floors of luxury residences or something of that nature, so that we skyscraper nuts can be satisfied...
