I would rather have had the planned hotel on that part of the block and have this office building on Congress. Oh Well.
I am glad it is going where it is. There a small part of the parking lot that goes to Congress where something could be built, but it is only like 80 feet. The Colorado side of that parking lot takes up a much bigger part of the blocks so they could build a bigger building. To build this on Congress they would have to destroy some nice old buildings with nice places like Manuel's. I originally also thought this was going on Congress and was about to go full on NIMBY as hell to save my flautas.
