From the renderings and conceptual images published by GBD, it seems like the "warehouse" podium will be clad in an attractive brick. At least that's something.
It is also similar to their original design with he turnaround, although it read more as a perimeter cluster of brick buildings than a "warehouse."
The design and setbacks reminds me of the street presence of the Empire State Building - you can barely see the tower from the street, as it seems totally disconnected from the street-frontage retail.
