"We're looking for opportunities to expand in the Exchange District, but our priority right now is the Union Bank Tower," he said. "We haven't even been inside the (Public Safety) Building. We all know there's problems with the outside."

"It has some problems, but it has some interesting architecture," said Point Douglas Coun. Mike Pagtakhan, who represents the Exchange District and chairs city council's downtown development committee.
