I have noticed that block is pretty close to PAW and not too far from Big Pink as well so I agree that would be a great location for a new tallest, it would definitely fill that gap between Fox tower (well PAW once it's finished) and Big Pink, evening out the skyline a bit while making it more complex at the same time. Also Because PAW and BP are pretty stylish I think that building could get away with being pretty darn flashy without looking too out of place. One can only dream though.. *sigh

Adding space for the food carts would also be an excellent way to keep pedestrians happy

I do think that maybe there should be a new tall or tallest built somewhere adjacent to the Wells Fargo Center so it could take away some attention away from it. Not a big fan of it being our tallest/most iconic at the moment but I think the unusual architecture would make a good sidekick to a sleeker building.

One can only dream, right?
