The Breithaupt Block | 16 m | 4 fl | Complete
Fingers crossed that this comes soon.

I thought this quote was interesting:


Quote:While it is exciting to have a world-famous company in the area, Google's building is locked tight because of the white-hot competition in the technology sector — there is no interaction with the surrounding streets and neighbours.


This rings true for me, and I do hope that the next phase is not like this. Living in the neighbourhood, I have very few interactions with the employees there (that I know of). My perception is that they don't live in the 'hood- which is a shame- and don't attend events and whatnot in the 'hood.

It will be very important that the new building is mixed use, with a retail or restaurant space used by both employees in the building and others.
