No. Not much activity of late.
So something is supposed to be built on the West side of that lot too?

They heard it is all the rage in the Wild West.
That gravel parking lot is HISTORIC.
Becoming quite the attractive apartment building!
Saw on TBJ today that the hotel component is delayed still because of tighter lending requirements. Didn’t specify a timeline for when construction would start.

Maybe they could get a loan from Kane Realty? 
Maybe can result in either A: the current developer selling the land, resulting in a higher land value and thus the need for the next developer to rezone taller and build taller to maximize ROI, or, B: the current developer themselves needing to rezone/build taller to max. ROI since the cost of them sitting on the land will eventually balloon.

Typically, I wouldn’t say lack of construction is a good thing, but this could be a blessing in disguise. That property has a lot more potential than the Marriott TownPlace Suites planned.
The downside of this is that, if construction gets delayed, the Acorn may need to have construction-adjacent apartments have a discount lasting longer since there is now uncertainty as to when it will start. Hopefully, they put in good soundproofing on that side.

I’ve never really been a fan of cladding since it doesn’t last long… hopefully the owners will maintain the building well
