comments:
ìAs a model for urban
waterfront reuse, this project is exemplary. It takes sustainability seriously
at a scale that changes how others will think about large urban buildings.
Daylighting throughout the building, no staff parking, and a ëmain streetí
create a sense of office community. The way is supports public transportation
and uses shuttles is laudable.î
