I was there yesterday and noticed that too, it's exciting to watch this unfold. THREE 10 + storied buildings in one location in a year and 1/2 timeframe (compared to nearly zero in 20 years...), I got a tear in my eye.
One comment on the original Sheraton Hotel(s) statement...originally, when Tucson was on track to build the convention Sheraton, our Sheraton was the exact template (shell) of the downtown Phoenix Sheraton. I attended 2 design open houses that the contractor/Rio Nuevo/Tucson held...and one comment/suggestion I made was to please don't let it be the carbon copy of the Phx building...most attendees agreed and/or had the same concern...that's how the completed design rendering came to be. I thought it was a nice looking building once they implemented our suggestions.
