Walking east on Chestnut, this building draws one's eyes and up to the canyon and appreciate the pre-war buildings even more; great juxtaposition of old and new.

Also, the plaza looks like it is meant to be there and not just bad urban planning or poor land value decision.

I think this statement hits the nail on the head - the park seems like it has been there forever since the very first time I walked through. The surrounding architecture shines unlike any other park/plaza in the city, mostly because there isn't a canopy of trees blocking the site lines to the buildings.
