I can't help but look at this shot and immediately start thinking about where to fill in the gaps and how tall the buildings need to be to even things out.

The photo can't be enlarged, but I think the Embassy Suites/One towers will fill in immediately to the left of Snodgrass. Not sure about where Giarratana's 'twins' will go, but pretty sure (if built) the Amazon big boy will really fill that gap to the right of Snodgrass. Of course, the Four Seasons will be a good anchor at the far left, and Conrad Hilton is only right now a little more than halfway up at the far right. I do wonder how visible the Buckingham tower would be from this POV.

Tear down the Sheraton along with it's worst in the world parking garage and build a mixed use complex with a 40 story Giarratana special as its centerpiece.

Incentivize him to put parking below grade and your big gap is filled along with a revitalized Anne Dallas Dudley corrider.

This may seem a little radical, but he is right about the parking garage.  And Tony did the Cumberland, Viridian and 505 (pictures below taken yesterday) when times were not any better than today.  That part of town needs to be upgraded by someone.

The Sheraton underwent significant upgrades/renovations about three or four years ago (to the tune of about $15 million, I believe). I highly doubt there would be serious consideration, at this point,  of any possibility of demolition. Agreed that the old CBD would greatly benefit from some love from the city AND a few ambitious developers!

Observation deck?  Is it open to the public (or was it before coronavirus)?
