>> we did look at that, it makes for an awkward transition, that you have a very stubby, lower portion that is eight stories. and setting back 15 feet it was like a very -- it was a very removed approach to adding an addition to the building. our goal here was to have it feel like it was all one building. at the end. >> what about tearing this building down was that considered by the project sponsor because you are dealing with a kind of not attractive building and constraints with the elevator and working with that. i get your challenge. >> the building is highly desirable on the inside. this is a shot of the inside in one of the tenants that has four floors, it's all concrete. that's what these tenants are looking for today. and everything is exposed. its structure was very robust. and they had already spent money to update the structure. the core is in the right place. to move the core, side where the core is would have no windows for eight floors. so the core is in the right place and there is buildings and our neighbor is one of them. so -- we -- the economics also of tearing the

you got one short stubby cannon and you got the same darn cannon except the barrel's longer. now, you fire the cannonball, same amount of powder. [makes sound] which cannonball goes further? the long barrel? the short barrel? or same, same? short barrel. how about the people say, what? you got the same kind of powder. you got the same cannon. one, so a little bit longer, so what? same cannon. same oomph. hey, they both go the same. what do you guys say? short barrel. long barrel. some say, no, the long barrel. the cannonball go further because there's more force acting on it. true or false? answer begin with f. false. it's because there's more what? time. there's more time. the cannonball is in the barrel for a longer time being pushed, pushed, pushed, pushed, pushed, pushed, pushed. it's gonna go a lot further if the cannon is a lot longer. can you see that? okay. and all that stuff makes sense here, doesn't it, huh? so we find out this physics we're talking about is really the physics of common sense. how about you-- you're riding in a car and the brakes have failed and you
