For anyone who's interested, the zoning application for the "78" is on line.

It is pretty much a blank slate, but it does show road placements and railroad realignment.

Are you referring to the cladding material or the color?

I dont mind the white color of OGP/NEMA. I like the way is contrasts with the dark/smokey windows. Not necessarily a fan of the method (painted concrete) however.

Both. I don’t think the white will age gracefully, nor do I think that much contrast is a good thing.

^ I dunno, I actually like the sharp contrast. The US Bank Tower in Milwaukee, for instance:

I am all for a different (read: better) cladding material however. I don't feel that painted concrete ages well, which I assume we are in agreement with. I also feel that it comes off as cheap.
