If the base matched the tower and it wasn't set back, this building would be so much better. Even if zoning required the setback, why not extend the design and materials from the tower down to the base?

This is obviously 1000% better than what's there now and will be a great addition to the skyline. The overall design could be a bit more imaginative.
Could there have been a worse first comment on this thread?

Also, as someone else noted, NO PARKING!!!!!!!
