They will come... and put in a dentist's office.
Is it just me, or does it seem like all the new buildings in Brookfield seem to house
a) banks;
b) medical professionals' offices; or
c) dentists' offices
First case in point: The new buildings on either side of Grasch's.
Second case in point: The proposed 97-foot tall building, Fountain Brook Crossing. The lead tenant? You guessed it... a dentist's office.
I don't have anything against dentists. I'm just saying...
But back to this Fountain Brook Crossing. Back when the development was initially proposed, it was lauded as an architectural "gateway" for Brookfield; it still is.
Can anyone explain to me why Brookfield needs a "gateway"? Seriously. Is it the new "sexy" architectural term?
When I first started this blog in 2006, I wrote about a then proposed Brookfield "gateway" at the intersection of 124th and Capitol ("Toto, We're Not in Tosa Anymore").
I didn't get it then, and I still don't get it now.
(BTW - fellow Brookfield blogger, Kyle Prast has posted some detailed blogs on her site regarding Fountain Brook Crossing.
