Really glad you dug in to that. Since they called me back to work finally, I've been driving around a lot DT and more and more the SC waterfront seems to be an urgent question for the future. I feel like we're starting to see the limitations on DT development (running out of open lots, CVC corridors, etc). Those limitations are pushing pretty hard on what's being proposed . . .and we're getting these nutso huge towers out of the deal. And I'm not complaining! I love nutso huge towers! But the ramp up in size seems indicative not only of pure demand but also of constraints on supply. We need more land to open up to build on, and pretty darn quick.
(Part of me is secretly wishing we had a valve we could open that would release some of the demand pressure that's building up. It's getting us some amazing projects, but it also feels unnatural and kind of like we're hurtling out of control. YMMV of course, but to me the amount of attention we're getting from the wide world is starting to feel kinda scary.)
