I we could just build an efficient mass transit system... Like have large park-and-rides out away from the center of the city, off every freeway into downtown, and had a light rail connecting downtown to those lots. We could have about a dozen large parking garages miles from downtown, and the need for ridiculous traffic and obscene amounts of parking downtown would be hugely reduced. Oh well. A man can dream...

Every time I read about the Block 265 tower, I die a little that it was never built, knowing that this is now in its place: Really wish there was some other solution to parking in downtown than taking up most of it was parking lots and garages.

lol. As I was reading though this thread, I saw this, and was getting ready to post the pictures here. Glad I kept reading. I found this site about an hour ago, and the two threads I've read so far have had quotes from me from SSP. As with BLVD Place, I live across the street from this site, so as soon as anything interesting happens there, I'll let you guys know.

Cool! I was quoted from another site. The Ritz Carlton is one of those things that we probably won't know for sure until the building is done and the signs go up. Initially, it was going to be a 50+ story Ritz, then two 30+ story towers, then one 30+ story tower, then it was cancelled entirely, then they said it was going to happen, then they cancelled again. Now all we have is that there is a planned "luxury hotel" on the site. One thing I like to see from all of the site plans is that the Hanover Residential Tower has not changed at all. That tells me those plans are pretty set, regardless of what the press releases say. As for progress on the site, I can keep you guys updated daily as soon as something starts happening. Even more so in about a month. Right now, I'm in a unit in my building that on the first floor looking away from the site, but by the end of February, I should be moved into a unit on the 6th floor with a pretty good view over the entire site. Right now it's a giant field of grass, but, as I told SSP, the minute something interesting happens, I'll let you know.
