An improvement, if actually realized.
But why must the top 6 floors be ugly and somewhat cheap? Surely area rents would could justify a nicer concept façade, unless the architect actually thinks that looks good.
I like the style of floors 7-8, I think that style for the overbuild would look nice against the original brick building.
Update: New Design Includes Rebuild of Old Facade at 7th & Chestnut
