I think I LUV SAT's post was a joke, lol.
"Starchitect" is exciting news for this site...definitely deserves it for such a prominent building on our skyline. And the building roof vs building height means there might be a big sculptural component at the top. I doubt it'll simply be a spire like the Fairmont. The setback angles should mean a very interesting shape for this building. I bet we'll get something at least as interesting as that Gensler proposal with the multiple angled terraces.
The height will be great for that area to break up the 400' plateau.
