Original Plans
Waterview Tower was originally planned to have parking for guests and residents on floors 2 to 11. A setback at the 29th floor level would have held a rooftop garden in addition to being the amenities level for all building guests and residents. The remaining 30th through 88th floors were to have comprised 233 condominium and penthouse residences. The tower was originally designed to be a concrete building with an exterior wall made of glass, granite and aluminum to generate a prismatic look. Per one of the city's approval conditions to include an outdoor garden, a terrace was planned to have spread over approximately 8,000 sq ft (740 m2) featuring landscaping, water elements, sun deck, and pet recreation area on the 29th floor.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or plans:
“If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing. It would take us as long to recall a space of time as it took the original time to elapse, and we should never get ahead with our thinking. All recollected times undergo, accordingly, what M. Ribot calls foreshortening; and this foreshortening is due to the omission of an enormous number of facts which filled them.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
