I would be inclined to think mixed used but given the market outlook (positive), we could be in store for a hospitality (hotel) boom or at least a sizable increase in citywide square footage... so a mixed-used is starting to become more and more feasible. With some recent reveals with other parcels or considerations, looks like developers are expressing confidence for the cycle.

I'd be happy with that. More affordable housing is always a plus. Going back to market outlook, maybe they will stick with the original specs but just tinker with the functionality to account for affordable % vs hospitality %. Ala ratio.
