I have seen the drawings for the top floor. It did not seem to be designed to handle anything other than office space. Its really too bad, because it could have been one of the most unique spaces to gather and eat in the region.

That seems surprising to me. I would have thought that providing the basic hookups (water, sewer, more electric, …) to allow a restaurant would have been a natural thing to do even if the initial fit-out is for office space. It would be nice to imagine that if restaurant use makes more sense in the future that renovation of just the top floor (without needing to run new services through the lower floors) would be enough to convert the space.

I believe kitchen ventilation is a big one that ideally would have been planned prior to construction. Obviously a conversion could happen if a potential tenant is willing to spend the money.
