Ultra tall commercial skyscrapers may be impressive vanity projects for architects and urban planners but they are technically obsolete and therefore, economically unviable.
The reason is obvious. Think about how you are reading this comment. Over the Internet from home, over a Wi-Fi connected mobile laptop, or a smart phone.
How can the developers make a proposal that makes economic sense for this investment? How can they charge enough rent per square foot to cover the cost of development, maintenance and make a profit?
It is impossible. This is both technical and economic insanity.
I would be quite pissed off if any of my tax dollars were being dumped into this boondoggle.
Yes, but the IMAO cocktail lounge needs both a physical address and lots and lots of levels.
Just remember though, it’s entirely possible there’s a gimp in the basement if someone is willing to pay for the space. I’m pretty sure I saw one in Seattle on an underground tour using only my phone flashlight as I was about to open a coffin like box when bam, the lights came back on and had to leave. The Tour Guide was just messing with me/us I think.
The tower is for show – the bunker is for the nuclear glow…
We want to expand the Interns quarters, exponentially.
I worry about where the new, extensive, unprecedented IMAO wine cellar might be located.
Wine rooms will be climate controlled and appear on multiple floors.
I don’t know, I’m pretty sure most of us only have one, maybe two levels. Superficial and satire.
That’s the proposed new HQ? I wonder what FrankJ is compensating for…
