Because compare the two buildings side by side and it's night and day... the new building will look nice, clean, and inviting. The one that is there now is out of place, dirty, and the first floor is ugly as sin while also being half windowless wall. A full glass base that can be lit up will make people fine with walking by there too. That building is the last part of Michigan Avenue north of Congress that isn't pleasant.

Pedestrian scale doesn't mean pedestrian friendly. Also, why do we want pedestrian scale in the middle of one of the largest CBDs in human history?
