Okay people, here is the dirt on the "proposed project".
HDRC CASE NO: 2007-50
Address: 245 E. Commerce Street
REQUEST:
1) Demolish an exisiting non-historic structure in the RIO District (Rio Plaza/Planet Hollywood)
2)Contrcut a new high rise with hotel, retail, meeting rooms, parking and residential (optional).
Therefore i think must of us were looking at parking lots, but this building would tear down the planet hollywood and replace it with a taller structure. Now the location makes more sense. I have to say i never saw this coming, and if it does go through, i would like to see a 300 ft structure, that is almost as tall as the nix. It would be very nice on that corner. Build it Up...
