Personally, I would prefer PAW doesn't restart until the market's picked up enough to revert to the original 33-34 story design. Having a chopped-off 27-story PAW next to a 27-story Fox Tower is gonna look awkward.
Agreed...........height equals future prosperity for downtown.......reducing the height will only put yet another roadblock in the proper development of buildings that can accommodate larger tenants downtown. By having one block be built 6-7 stories taller will mean future growth even if only slightly for the local economy. Progress Ridge is excellent for people living in the outlying areas such as Scholls, Bald Peak, Midway, Sherwood etc....However it has different clients than the PAW.

Stop building out, start building up, BUT DO IT RIGHT the first time....so we dont have to come back and fix our mistakes 50 years from now.
