The height is confusing, guess we will have to see the finished product. Just one or two more floors would have made a difference! It is all economics, I guess. It will still be a great addition.
Ya, the height really does seem to play tricks on your eyes. Even with the spire I feel the US Bank tower will be the dominant building in the skyline. Maybe the design of the US Bank tower makes it feel/seem/look taller than it is??

At any rate, glad the hole is gone!
Doesn't the US Bank tower sit on elevated ground compared to the buildings around it? I know I have to climb a few steps to get to the first level.

I was going to mention that awhile back. The south side has a large man made like hill where the miner's statue is. But, the incline is not very noticeable from the north side of the building. Which seems flat other than a small grass mound that is elevated with some concrete planters and a small stretch of irises, I’m pretty sure though that without the mound of dirt that the US Bank building is sitting on, it would be noticeably smaller then 8th & Main by a few feet.

not only that, but keep in mind that the zion's bank tower sits in...
a hole.

I just ate a quick taco at Pollo Rey and it was quite nice to sit outside the patio and watch the progress of the building. Being on those 8th St patios will be even cooler once it's complete.

Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time? That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains.-Hermann Hesse
