It doesn't have much to do with that. We've seen a lot of modern designs be proposed by developers that never get built as a result of a lack of funding and other issues related to the developer and not the city.
It also doesn't help that the surrounding buildings in Gore Park don't match this design at all. If this does indeed get approved as rendered, this may kickstart other developers to think outside of the box in regards to building something radically different right in Gore Park.
I support this project and I hope they build it.
