Let's look at how that open plaza would fit in the landscape...





And the indoor plaza...





Now, with the comparison of both towers...





You might question why they wouldn't just cantilever over the open space, but then it wouldn't be as "open".

I'm all for a taller tower, but at the same time, I don't see why they shouldn't be able to build a tower as efficient for the company as possible. That is the entire purpose of building a new headquarters there.
