Data to support that?

The downtown Greensboro landscape is going to be looking pretty good.

Those are some solid projects. It's great to see downtown Greensboro fleshing out and densifying structurally.

after all this is complete, i think Greensboro is going to have the 3rd best looking downtown in NC with all these shiney and sexy modern structures.

That's one thing i do like about greensboro, the tallest buildings downtown are very modern and atractive, not big ugly 1970's boxes with windows.

Downtown has so much potential and finally it gets the building boom it deserves.









Very Mid western Style buildings...

I hate these 1970 boxes...


No soul, no character...just a big white box..

He was referring to job growth lately like in the past few years. However I don't have job growth numbers over the past few years.

Have there been any recent job announcements within the last few months is what I'm asking.

Actually I like that. I can appreciate the clean lines and simplistic design.

The way most of them front the street is a different story though.

I love a skyline with a variety of designs from different eras. It gives a city that established feel. One thing I don't like is the Gateway Plaza Tower on the south end of downtown. I don't have a problem with the design. I have a problem with the way they repainted the building. They should have left it completely white. They had to paint that ugly brown pattern on it which makes no sense at all. Its the least talked about highrise in downtown Greensboro and you can see why.



Looked so much better like this. Reminds me of a taller version of the Elm.tower in High Point
