one question though. in the rendering, the existing 8 story fountain square building appears to be out of the picture for an expanded public square, yet there's no mention of its demo in the article. we don't have all the facts here.

Good, the cat's out of the bag. This is the project I mentioned a while back.
Concerning the corner building, it absolutely would be coming down.
You are correct - with Booth-Hansen involved, it's going to be a very pleasant and well-detailed tower.
If they're going to allow all of this stuff to be demolished, I sincerely hope it doesn't get scaled down into a bland version of itself at present.
