That MacDonald West building sticks so much further up from the roofline of the other buildings, it reminds me of Vietnam or something. It just looks odd.

Or maybe Japan. I'd accept that comparison. All it needs is a little penthouse set back from the front with a nice rooftop garden and some signage on the side.
Really its exciting to see that form of building as infill in American cities, even if it has replaced something else. We've had so much full-block upscale condo buildings, but what made downtowns in the golden years was how every little lot could support a multi-story building.
Of course I'm no Portlander. Back to lurking...
