Not sure who the architect is, it was just a photo inserted in a pdf. I'm assuming now that it is just for visual aid to show what could go there.
120-high-density "condos" are part of the overall plan, and from what I've gathered, the 4-story "texas-wrap" complex is supposed to break ground early 2009 for delivery in 2010.
The hold-up in this development has been "tax-credit" funds which would give developers an extra 11 milion to the budget instead of a 400k short, a street on that land that had to be "erased", then when the plan was drawn up, the original drawing had the buildings sitting on water or gas lines, and also the design was held up at the State Historic Preservation Office.
