Good news is that with Embarcadero at least proposed on the site off 9th/St. Mary's, SAHA owning the land behind it, and Cross owning most of the land on the other side of the river between 8th & 9th, it won't take much to get that area going. We know Cross is capable of pulling off something that will make an impact, especially after Vistana and if he gets the skeleton building completed. Pearl, 1800, 1221 Broadway, and these other possible projects between Brooklyn/9th could all inject at least 2000 new residents to this section downtown; I'd say River North would be off to a good start.
