It's going to be hard to get this project off the ground. Lots of very powerful people live on North Blvd, South Blvd, Sunset Blvd, and West Blvds. They own the 1920s mansions sitting on full acres with 100 year old live oaks gracing their lawns. They do not want a highrise in their backyards. Rumors are swirling of blackballing any and every vendor who might get on board with 1717 Bissonnet. If true, then not surprising Mr Linbeck pulled out. Will any other local construction firm pick up the slack?
