Yikes!
The two grotesque buildings that replaced that great brick warehouse building on the NW corner (pictured above) in the early 80's are perfect examples of what not to do.
I'm sure those buildings were marginally acceptable at that time but are now permanent eyesores. I could see where the clocks on 700 King W (aka Westside Lofts) came from, but it's more of a slap in the face to the past.
Don't let this happen, as I'm sure this design will look dated and unfortunate 30 years from now, just like diagonally across the street.
The original building should be restored to its original glory with residential or commercial lofts and anything on top should refrain from the clichéd glass and spandrel box with staggered balcony patterning you see everywhere. This prominent corner should be held to a very high level of design standards -- we've seen too many bad mistakes being built everywhere in the city.
