I think it is well know at this point that Soffer had no real "master plan" with any real thought or design involved for the SSW beyond the retail core.
Hey, I thought you were going to let me continue and not knock me off my high horse? There is nothing personal in any jabs I may take on here, so please don't ever take my posts too seriously, even ones where I might be making some sense.

To the bolded portion of your comment above... I agree with you. So then why do a suburbany office building there? I think Soffer needs cash quickly and Highwoods (as a commercial leasing company) is all too happy to oblige in a chance to develop a riverfront parcel much cheaper than they could likely do elsewhere. Unfortunately for Pittsburgh, Highwoods hasn't done this before -- they're primarily a leasing services and developer in more suburban-styled office parks.
