^ agreed. If it was redesigned I'd be I to it. The location is great. But there are more interesting projects

A simple red brick tower would be great here--eg: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-berkshire-28266824

Or, very out of place.

Doesn't have to be brick - something like De Hoftoren in the Hague (KPF) would add a lot of visual interest and contrast against the glass towers:

If they are going to redesign the office building. Create something similar like the ice towers beside it. By rounding off the corners of the rectangle building and adding a similar rooftop for the employes to hang out etc. But keep the curtain wall look similar to the old design.

That the residential component is winding down as it nears completion (they no longer need the space).

Pretty sure it just means that 8 trailers have been removed from the site.

- Where it's urban. And dense.
Odd. I always read it as 16/2 trailers are being removed from the site. Not 9-1 one, though. That makes no sense.

I thought I recall the city had some mandate that the office had to be built when / after the residential compontent was finished. Keep in mind this was slighty before the office boom picked up i.e. there was nothing under construction at the time office wise and they were worried they'd not go ahead with it.
Maybe I'm wrong though !

I wonder how long we'll have to look at that big ugly wall.

A triangular tower would do nicely here.
