Maybe I'm crazy, but I wouldn't mind seeing one of the other two firms bidding on the building getting it. Gilbert has done a fantastic job so far downtown, but I also think some diversity in ownership might be a good thing as well. Unless he's planning on reviving the original design concept and twinning that tower...

Even apart from the second tower, I was always pissed that they literally built a parking garage next door to the existing parking garage. It makes the area so awkward from an urban planning standpoint. "Two Detroit Center" is now literally a 1,105-spot garage and it's next door to the 2,070-spot Lanier Garage.

As for the three owners, both Bedrock and REDICO are well known. The tower would be well off with either of these owners; I really don't care.
