any of you other Boise posters ever visit the
high-rise proposal forum?
i check it out regularly to see if there are any proposals for other cities that would fit nicely into our skyline, both in terms of style as well as size.
generally, i look for proposals in the 350 to 450 foot range that aren't too wide.
for example, i think this philly proposal would look great on the lot just north of Hotel 43:
this proposal is 380 feet tall, which would give us a much-needed peak in the skyline.
i also liked the style of this proposal, oddly enough also for philly:
i'd prefer a more peaked roofline, or perhaps a central spire, but i like the colors and style.
this proposal is listed at 295 feet, though to me it looks taller than that.
anyway, it's a fun way to see what other designs are out there, and think of how some of these smaller proposals in larger cities could make a significant impact here.
