Have to disagree. Medallion fits nicely with all the buildings surrounding it (the Reagan, Barclay, etc.) in mass, style and decor. It is about as close as you can get in the contemporary idiom to the modern, deco and beaux arts buildings that surround it. A pretty strong job of updating the look of the area without jarring. Plus it added badly needed open space (assuming the remaining parking lots eventually are buildings).
Personally I would ditch modern and contemporary altogether, but since that isn't going to happen, this is what you need to fit without jarring.
