It's right next to the convention center.

"Commandeered" is a good term. The Hilton which is on city land and will become city property...I think after 30-40 years after completion was supposed to have major underground parking. The developer said they could not do the project with that requirement. Hence the city "took" the land for the purpose of a convention center garage.
