Personally, it would be pretty awesome to see some of the $30 mil go to hire a star architect to design something truly note worthy and iconic for one or both of these blocks. Anything but a utilitarian rectangles!!

You should share that first one with the horde of angry old pearl clutchers who are commenting online about how this will ruin downtown and the look of Fayetteville St. It actually strengthens it. Thanks for sharing. I’m geeking out about all of these pictures tonight.

If something massive goes here, the Marriott and Charter Square 1 are going to look minuscule, sandwiched in there.

If you have a new tower, and there is generally new construction across the street that’s short, it only insures your view corridor for a longer period of time. I see it as a win.

Marriott and Charter Square? What about the one story McDonald’s? That’s going to look terrible
That already looks terrible. Can the city put in minimum height restrictions in the zoning? That property needs it so in 10 years when the next remodel comes around, the city can say “nope, not tall enough for the zoning.”

Aren’t they redoing that McD’s now? Seems like they could go for at least a 6-7 story building with a McD’s at the bottom and apartments on top.

Ugh. Drive throughs. I’m not into policing such things, but I’d break my own rule to get rid of them.

they may have to turn the golden arches upside down to look like they are trying to keep the tall kids from stepping on them.
