(other benefits include Green Line cost savings by utilizing an existing tunnel & simplifying the Bow River crossing, while also significantly mitigating its impact on PIP)
Are you planning for people to go north or south?

Hanging out on the first or second floor of an office tower where you work or your friends work doesn't have a lot of common appeal.

I doubt the parking companies own any of those blocks, they just operate them.
Okay then, whoever owns the land would be happy to sell them.

Would there be a +15 over 1 St SW since the westernmost buildings of this block won't be touched?
There's already a +15 network from the Hyatt to City Hall.
