Wait. What has changed in terms of the office space? 50,000 square feet is easily fit into the 3 originally planned floors.

A massive 200K big box is just not appropriate for downtown. Look at the CVS windows at CityScape and imagine those running 3/4 the length of 1st Street... how... urban. Every grocer in big cities hides these walls with shallow retail.

I also don't get why RED hates Jefferson. A 3rd consecutive block of loading docks and garage ramps planned.

Without the residential tower, this is a total miss. I actually think the renderings look great; but, that's if I pretend 1st Street, 2nd Street, and Washington have much more active ground floors than they do, and with the hope that one day, a hotel tower will rise on 1st St/Washington.
