This thread now has over 500 posts... how many posts will there be by the time something is constructed?

I'll set the over/under at 750.5, given 121 West is pretty leased (may sell?) and Holyrood Gardens tower is about to start leasing up so they will have their plate getting pretty empty soon... but also I think it's going to be hard to make 250 more posts about the exact same thing the prior 500 were about.

I just hope the more of the Holyrood Gardens gets built right away though.

As for this downtown property, I'd be happy with a mix of retail, hotel and residential, I don't think we will see the need for offices for a long while.

Given what has happened so far which is nothing, the owners may eventually realize this is beyond their capabilities and sell it to someone else who will come up with other (hopefully better) ideas and that is how I think Tower 101 will end.

The location would argue for some office/retail component, but the current market would lean towards hotel and residential.

A different name, likely to remove association with this failure, but a similar idea, just (better) executed by someone who can pull it off.
 
Hotel + apartment (where the office portion was to have been) + condo maybe?

Mind you, that sort of development and operation is complex and usually for more sophisticated developers.
 
The problem with this now is that it has been rezoned to higher value making it less desirable as a priority.

I wished, going forwarding that any approved rezoning to a stie is only applicable to the specific project proposed at hand. If the project fails to fruition, the rezoning is annulled...
Furthermore, the city should require an environmental clean up deposit of X amount for events such as this. Ensure it rises with construction inflation....

Didn't we projected this concept on C2E already? I even mentioned stage construction if height was of importance to this location.
At present condition, is another hotel warranted? Condo/rental would be good, but what is the target audience as I can't see another luxury tower coming ? The fact this is a primo location under a weak company, I can't see them carry this through, so who is the viable candidate? Perhaps two strong local developers collaborate? If so, who are the two or possibly more?
 
I want something there asap but I also don’t really want this tower tbh… this spot is such a good opportunity for a really cool, iconic tower. I doubt we’d get that from Regency and/or DER. Maybe something by humphreys and sons?? Idk but wasting it with something unremarkable would be really unfortunate.
