If not green roofs, with all this reexamining of space in that area, I think we should also be looking at the flat roofs as useable spaces.

Also, does anyone know the extent to how Pearl plans to protect multi-income residents and commercial tenants? Would they be integrated in the buildings themselves or separate?
I think a few of those are live/work space, and by a few, I mean maybe 7 or so.
I don't think that the garage, which would make up a majority of the roof is going to be covered or flat in order to have very much useable space. Just like the Stack Building, I suppose that the garage in the apartment building is going to be open on the top floor. However, the flat roof which is useable, on the Full Goods Builidng, does have a 200kW solar array.
And can you ellaborate on "protect?" Do you mean security-wise?
