I was walking into that district this week and felt that sense of vibrancy you just don't get from canyons of new generic buildings.... which this one will be.
It is filler with no public space and very generic street level design.

I encourage more of you to actually be.... exist....walk.....live.... downtown before so enthusiastically wanting it to become "anywhere" USA.
The days of "oh yeah something big" really need to be gone. We need better design and
street interaction.... not just tall and generic.

This is not a building worth waiting for. If I am going to give up part of the district...
THEN This building IS NOT worth giving up this location for. If you want me to buy in. Build something original, significant.... something that contributes artistically or culturally. Just some good design would be great. Try picking it out of a skyline if you want a standard.
This is truly JUST FILLER>......
Aim higher.

Totally agree.
