Oh my comment wasn’t aimed at you. I just post negativity-themed snark whenever the Mall topic appears. The history of it’s protracted taxpayer funded development rankles everyone who’s seen it festering out in the Meadowlands since the 90’s, and who understands the greed, graft, poor decisions, ugliness, and everything else it represents and has ALWAYS represented.

Meh. The problem in glass box architecture is in trying to get your building to be aesthetically pleasing and set apart from all the others without spending more money. Here the height of the upper edge of stone facing is similar to the height of adjacent buildings and this makes it fit in with its neighbors a little better.
