I hope phase 2 has more variety of buildings in both height and shape, but we'll see.

Unfortunately, these buildings are designed promarily for the market, which was a gift thanks to the large zoning lots created by city planning. “Square” is what you are going to get, because that’s what large tenants want. It’s why these buildings are filling. That being said, they are buildings that will have the best of amenities and everthing a tenant could want. I look at these buildings every day, and they’re no treat for the skyline (too similar in height). But they are exactly what the city intended.
