I still like this one a lot, even more than the Block 71 office tower. I've always been big on facade detail, and this one has tons more detail than the Block 71 office tower does. One of my biggest complaints with modern architecture these days is that the facade designs and detail have become very boring. They're just curtain walls from top to bottom. I suppose that's the right look for the Block 71 office tower because of the angles, but the facade on this one is more what I like to see, even if the form isn't as attention grabbing. The Block 71 office tower looks like many other buildings. Houston and Dallas each have buildings that could be stand-ins for it.

Besides, it's not true that this building won't have public space. It'll have restaurant space.

My only gripe with this building is that we'll lose a nice old building in downtown, even if it isn't historic.
