The interesting thing is whether the current decrepit state of that mini-Loggia will be left as it is for the few people in the new tower who <i>will</i> be able see it from the the windows directly across.Lynn Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759748613223711212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-47868769530207574352011-03-14T09:56:03.974-05:002011-03-14T09:56:03.974-05:00Are you sure it's going to be covered?

If you look at the renderings (some not pictured in your post) it looks like the portion of the tower adjacent to the Auditorium rises to only about 6 floors and then there is a setback.
