True. Doesn’t need to be a freestanding building though.

I’ve always thought that “hole” in River North would be perfect for a massive, multi-block development. I’m pretty sure I came back from a trip to Berlin when I was like 15 and wanted to build something like Potsdamer Platz there. You could even bury parts of Ontario and Clark (not below grade, but under a raised plaza built over them) and make it a pretty awesome public space.
