Once 2nd st is extended and Seaholm becomes the obvious retail bookend to downtown, Council will regret having ever benn talking into allowing office use by developers with a short term focus on their own ROI and not the greater good of having. Truly impressive retail or cultural destination spot. You can put 117,000 SF of office space in any office tower but you will never have another Seaholm. A "once every few generation" opportunity lost...
