Two things. The Curtainwall on DEC accentuates the cantilever more than it would by itself. The geometry of a shorter building allows for a more drastic looking cantilever. If this building did that it would hit the Ally building besides breaking the laws of physics with its structure.

Don’t we want people to venture away from ‘their blocks’?

I personally like the guys on 1110 AM restaurant Tuesday in the evening. Or Dirty Restaurant Thursday! Hilarious and scary...

Those high powered LED lights need a few weeks to burn in at 100% power. Cool to see it turned on during a festival weekend. Wonder if that was planned?

Very exciting! Maybe this will start a Development trend of densifying the corporate park with true mixed use.
