Only because it was approved. However, no buyers could be found. Not the first nor the last time this will happen. It's just that the design of this one was better than most, so its loss is felt more.

Being that the site is now for sale, with additional air rights, maybe in a couple of years when the Downtown revival is more visible, the location will prove prime for a residential tower, which will have to be as slender as this one. Maybe another developer will be as inspired.
