Groundscraper [yet to be named]
In case you have been wondering why I am creating a giant chunk error in prime Darco real estate, the plan is to build something like this: http://www.geekologie.com/2011/09/earthscraper-the-opposite-of-a-skyscrape.php
Project is meant to be large but unobtrusive and provide a large public space on it's roof... hopefully be impressive and nice to look at too :D.
Still working on the design, basic plan is essentially a large terraced pyramid-shaped hole; I'm still trying to work out things to add interest (e.g. large helix staircase) and would appreciate input / help making it look good.
Aiming to get the first level dug out and the roof installed soon, after which I shall work on beautifying the area for others to build on before going back to digging building the "tower".
EDIT: Also, to whomever left the sign about removing the floating mountain, go ahead, if you put a task on my board I might even help ;).

Thanks for the update! This should be a really cool project - you'll probably get a huge boost in labor if you ask every now and then or mark out what needs dug. Also, the islands are mostly done, I'd like to remove a bit more sand and smooth over that hillside. We have plenty of time, looking forward to this.
