This would definitely be one of those rare moments in Portland history that I would want to see this city go the extra mile and really push for something architecturally stand out, possibly even starchitect stand out, that would be exciting to see happen....though knowing Portland, probably never would unless we got lucky and had a smaller firm really try to push the limits with what could be done.

ohhhh okay, i see it now. I was for some reason pictuing a huge triangle building for all the lots haha.
