Yeah, it would have because on the north side of Howard St. the shading would have been on the "park-to-be" atop the new TransBay Terminal. And as I've mentioned before, I recall when Foundry Square was first proposed and the Planning Dept. expressed pleasure at these buildings not being as high as the zoning allowed precisely because of overshadowing the TransBay.
