An interesting couple of weeks here with a high rise proposal that's just been settled.

The 32-story 'The Fifth' project has been slated on the site for a city-owned parking lot, which means the bid for the land was competitive. At the 11th hour, a competing developer submitted a rival 35-story proposal shown below.





But in the end, the city ended up selecting the original proposal, with updated renderings shown below. The hopeful return of a downtown movie theater too.








One other update, a nice little rowhome project proposed for the Sherman Hill neighborhood, which is adjoining downtown.
