Site context is just as important. Im not advocating a taller building so it can be seen from I75, in fact I would just like to see something the size of the Statler building. Parking across the site outside of the tower doesn't have to kill street activity anymore. The city requires ground floor retail on parking structures and the Z-garage is a perfect example of how a parking structure can promote street activity and add to the urban environment.

I am still holding out hope that Gilbert will be teaming up with VG if for nothing more than to increase the amount of parking on the site for the Book Tower.
