Rendering looks great. The only possible downside would be the loss of prominence of the arena itself. Most (especially tourists) view the arena from the downtown core. I hope the design allows for the arena to remain prominent. I also assume that the "lobby" area of the tower will also at least partly be used as an addition of concourse space for the arena itself. This could go a long way to improving GM Place's reputation as not having the greatest concourse space. Hopefully the Boston Gardenesque staircase leading to the lower bowl situation will be addressed as a result of this project.
