We at
Virtual Builders Exchange just posted on article on this project (
Sul Fiume, btw, is Italian for 'on the river'.)
The HDRC will discuss the project at its Wednesday meeting. Curious to see who shows up to represent the Archdiocese. Not a traditional developer partnership. The Archdiocese will contract a ground lease with
SMS-SAR Hospitality LLC, which appears to be a partnership between the Missionary Oblates and one Anthony Byron. Does anyone know who that is? Architect is from San Francisco; maybe that's a clue. The concept has no parking structure. The Hilton under construction at St. Mary's & Commerce is also sans parking. That's a lot of valet parking in a concentrated area. The article:
