This proposal (at least this version) does replace several older buildings, including the corner building which I'm fond of:

I don't think I'd mind if the buildings north along Wells went, but I'd like to see the corner structure preserved. The project has potential and looks quite nice, but I'd get rid of the southern 30% in order to keep the buildings along Chicago as like an anchor. If the developer was smart, they'd preserve them, have them landmarked and then seek a historic tax credit. To make up for the loss of the new structure I'd raise it from 8 to 12 floors.
That's just my thinking though.
