Is there alley delivery available for those streets off 7th? That might pose a problem.
As exciting as it sounds, its likely DTLA will have to wait at least another decade before it sees this kind of high end development. I think Macy's is key. You maximize that site's potential by opening it up, and I bet there will be a plethora of projects virtually overnite.

I totally see high-end designer boutiques take over the ground floor retail spaces of the Biltmore Hotel and other nearby buildings and eventually become a new shopping district surrounding Pershing Square.
It's possible that the ACTUAL name Pershing Square may connote shopping in the future just like when you say "Union Square SF" people usually think of shopping. Or if you say SoHo, people think of shopping now. In the future, what if people said "Pershing Square" and it became synonymous with LA's premier shopping district?
