[edit] Replacing Time Square

The Rochester City Council chose this building over the "Time Square" building proposed by local business magnate Gus Chafoulias. His building would have stood on the same address and risen an additional 80 some feet. It would have had 35 stories and been 425 ft tall. But in May 2000, the council chose the Oakwood Plaza even though it had previously approved Chafoulias's building in 1998^[4].
