I can sort of get the economic argument for not doing it, but in the interests of the making the city a great place for everyone, why couldn't they include an events space for live music/arts/culture events? Alan Simms and Shine have proved that a live arts space is 100% commercially viable here....
The marketing material for the Sixth is clearly aimed at young/trendy startup types and the simple fact is that some of the people who regularly attend live events at the Telegraph Building (or other Union St music venues or Shine events) might just be future CEOs/directors of local startup firms. Talk about potentially shooting yourself in the foot by not including even just a wee arts venue.
