^ Completely agree. But wasn't it an issue working out the parking on the ground levels that required a new structural grid for the Farwell?

I just realized how nice and poorly those windows will align with the parking structure. Disneyland at its finest. False fronts. A simple wrapper of make believe material on top of concrete slabs. Heck this building would look better with the concrete painted white and clad entirely in glass. Some of the most expensive real estate on the avenue inside of a make-believe building. Meanwhile the parking stashed away behind a nearly century old facade that was once a building with some integrity.
