I've often thought of a large two tower development on Central and Thomas positioned diagonally to each other on the northwest and southeast corners optimistically comprised of one 1000' tower and one 600-800' tower with the former being hotel and condo and the latter being office.

They would be connected via an underground air controlled tunnel and would feature large bases for retail, restaurants, a grocery store and seating area with plants. The tunnel would feature a staircase and elevator leading directly up to the LRT station. Borrowing from Combusean's idea this could also be a great place for a news or Network location with a large LED TV on the north and south sides of the building facing up and down Central. The 1000' tower would feature an observation deck and restaurant at the top. The retail and restaurant would be heavily focused on being unique to the state and include some entertainment venues as well, such as a Lucky Strike Lanes. The tower could also be used for broadcasting.

Each tower would have unique but striking architecture. For example:



Anyway, just thinking out loud.
