They will therefore expand the rentable sq ftage of the building but unfortunately, if the entire structure is not reskinned to match it will just be another one of those disasters downtown where the bottom doesnt fit in with the top. <BR/><BR/>Gross.mediocre bad guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00424078189897973882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-2904994734871056862008-08-05T21:06:00.000-04:002008-08-05T21:06:00.000-04:00Sorry to gripe.

I don't see any change except for the 1st floor and lobby. Can't they do new cladding for the entire structure?
