This is not true. I'm familiar with the ownership of three of the parking lot blocks surrounding 800 Bell. They are very sophisticated long term investors from NYC. They will go vertical at some point, but are happy to hold as long as it takes for the right deal.

The parking lot portion of the block is under different ownership.

New Hope Housing EaDo: Multifamily At 3301 Harrisburg Blvd.

SRO, means these are not apartments. They are more like college dorms. Typically, SROs are one person per unit, smaller than a studio apartment, and no kitchen.- 77 replies

My sources say the Holiday Inn is going to become a Marriott. Same developer as the Savoy project. -

If I'm not mistaken, there is a circa 2007-8 thread about a Hilton Garden Inn proposed for the vacant half block next to the Wedge Tower garage.

I heard something about a Turkish company and a boutique hotel. That's all I've got.

I heard a rumor that this block would be non-highrise apartments. Sounds like the rumor is accurate.

Agree. Along those lines, I also heard an unsubstantiated rumor of another residential project going up on the block immediately north of Skyhouse.

This proposal is really neat. However, the City does not own the needed right of way. Unless the land is donated, the acquisition costs (through eminent domain), would likely reach eight figures. In short, it's a great concept, but unlikely to happen.
