I actually think these two buildings are well designed buildings and look good for anyone entering the downtown to see. Though there is still plenty of land around these buildings to develop. If high speed rail does ever happen, the station would end up over in the Rose Quarter to prevent it from having to cross the river which slows things down for high speed rail.
