The city has written off the downtown library. It exists now only as a homeless campground. Have you been by it lately? They have to keep cops stationed in front of it 24/7.tamtagon wrote:I think, however, a History Museum and Library would be better housed through an expansion at the City Library. That side of town needs a significant venue - new bright and shiny!! - to increase the flow of philanthropic billions into the city's array of cultural destinations.

Same here. Those Headington lots would be a great locations for high rise residential buildings like this and Amli. It could be a really cool neighborhood.st0760 wrote:Looking great!

Hopefully there are aesthetic details they still intend to add because the white-painted concrete, without any other visual detail, looks half-assed to me.

The Flora & Olive Tower's facade is moving up the building rather quickly. Remarkably, the 39-story tower is actually about the same height on the skyline as the Hall Arts Residences' Tower, which is 30 stories.
