All that said though, if the decision to retain the old factory building is made I find it disappointing, but not entirely surprising, they're making zero effort to play off its' history as the Eagle Electric building. Aside from it's 'OPUS' signage in more or less the same location as the historic rooftop billboard, the branding has absolutely nothing to do with the heritage of the building. Opus? How about "The Eagle"? "Current"? "Amp LIC"? Watt Tower? Anything fun and homage making to the site. The lack of creativity is depressing.

I don't disagree with what you wrote. The article noted they plan a 500 SQF space in the old warehouse that will feature the history of the building and Eagle Electric.
