Not necessarily. This is just conceptual work for presentation purposes, and more something for the city to show as a massing study for that area than anything else. Since public money will likely be involved, they have to go through a Request for Proposal process (since it's greater than $75,000 in project budget), which means Rossetti will just be one of several firms bidding for the work. I suspect you'll get the heavy hitters from around the architectural world bidding on this one. The actual design of the facility is far, far off. These renderings should have an asterisk on them, really.
