I agree with the idea of expanding our city's global position and think that it is unforunate that others do not see a WTC as a positive step. The 65' height limitation is too restrictive for our waterfront. I encourage you Mr. Powers to keep fighting for this development. It will bring people to our waterfront and we need landmark investments such as this.
However, I strongly disagree with the building's asthetics as shown above. Please consider a re-design to something more modern and visually striking...break up the composition. We have seen tightly grided punched openings with brick color for the past 200 years. This building introduces change to the city on a large scale, it should be vibrant and forward-thinking visually as well.
