We get two 500+ foot building rumors in a week (the UT block office tower and this) breaking that 400 ft. 'plateau' that everyone talks about and all yall do is complain.  |
There is a lot right across the way on the southeast corner that could be built on.
Also as MichaelB meantioned, many of us have paid attention to this building as well as others in that area of DT. I think we need to remember that we can be highrise enthusiasts as well as supporters of preserving buildings that not only have history but give DT a more textured and varied mix of old and new. The existing building is in beautiful condition and there's no good reason for it to be completely demolished. Downtown may be running low on building sites but we are not there yet. We have quite a few surface lots including some right on Congress that need to go. Developers should prioritize building on those lots first.
