I have always had this fantasy that a much taller Frost is build: with the base as a major retail [ grocery ?] : the lower glass tower area as office floors; the more slender tower area as a hotel; and the horizontal banded area, with balconies, as condos. Now that would be GREAT. The block north of Republic Square is the site. The hotel and residential entrances are facing the park on 5th; the retail entry is on Guadeloupe; the office entrance on 6th.
