Thanks for the link French777! Wow 6,000 employees downtown... quite impressive count. I believe that exceeds GM's count.
I'm surprised that they are going to mimick the Ren Cen. Hasn't there been a contingent of those who felt the Ren Cen stuck out like a sore thumb design-wise? Either way I think it's a good thing with the upkeep of a building and more jobs downtown.
My only concern is what are they covering up?? Does anyone have a current picture of this building?
Nothing they are just replacing the crappy cinderblock entranceway with a nice glass one. The glass facade is already there.
I like it. Looks like this effects the first floor only.
We need more inviting streetwall, and this most certainly accomplishes that.
^ Agreed!
And that was one ugly building before they put the glass sheeting over it about 20 years ago.
It's definitely an improvement although it looks like it will only affect one corner of the ground floor. The rest of the ground floor will still be that granite wall.
That's for sure. That was a hideous building/parking structure back in the 80's. Whatever anyone thinks of it now, it is a huge improvement over what was there before.Quote:

Quicken Loans also finishes their move downtown. Will we be able to break 6 figures for downtown employment?
