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.
