but wouldnt that make the skyline look weird?
it would look kind of square unless it went up a slope from Belltown to the "Dream Tower" then slope down from WAMU to the Bank of America Plaza and it would go into an almost vertical slope at the Columbia.
i like your location for the "dream tower" except that it would cover 2 Union Square and thats a building i dont wanna see dissapear...
also i think more residential towers should be built in the more Downtown area to even out the Belltown-Downtown vicinity..
Belltown is getting a lot of Hotels, Apartament, and Condo Towers...
this is going to create traffic hell!!!
if u wanna compliment the Belltown area then the Westin Towers should get a red-ish orange-ish Halo around the top and the Darth Vader building should add a green-ish Neon outline...

IMO more important than building some really tall building to the north of Columbia Center is building some mid-sized ones south of Columbia Center. The way the skyline just kinda "drops off" after it gets to Columbia Center kinda sucks if you ask me, I think they need some ~300-600 footers down there to make the drop-off more gradual.

Yeah ,i agree, but there is barely any space left around the Columbia Center since most building are protected in pioneer square, unless they would do that south Pioneer Square, but then that would leave a big gap between the Columbia Center and 300-600 footers.

The Public Safety block, 5th & Yesler, Harborview, and even Skyline will help at the south, depending on the angle.

From West Seattle I'll be able to The Public Safety block, 5th & Yesler, Harborview, but not Skyline.

Wow, nice work and thank you for the visuals. The Escala dig is impressive. Quintessa looks nice as well.

We do have the shotcrete projects in a few areas. But it does seem that the wood use is higher here. I would like to know the answer as well. The Escala dig is very impressive.

5th and Madison tile project is much better now that it covers the whole side. So its not going to be different sections of color. This is much better with the solid side of tiles.....Not Bad!
Great Update Vashon.
