...But the Hunt tower is pretty much a go ahead project.
I know this only because I've seen the final design. Its a pretty
awesome building, but I don't have the rights to post the
pictures. I will say its not going to be very tall about the
same height as the Federal Reserve. Still a pretty awesome
looking building. I was impressed that it was not designed
by a "high design" architect. Has some fun curves and some
different colors that will be introduced into the skyline.
Also, we were involved momentarily with a high rise design of a
building in the Arts District near City Lights. Going to be about 18
stories due to the limited size of the lot. We lost the bid early on
because of my firms lack of experience in high rise residential (even
though we have done highrise hotels...etc... beside the point). But
this may be one of the projects one of those article was mentioning.
I can tell you there is a lot being talked about in the Arts district
right now by different parties. I do not know all the specifics, but
have heard talk of a couple projects being approached by different
developers. So I'd expect this Arts plaza is just a start of a couple
more projects that may be announced in the near future.
Loose design possibilities for the Hunt Tower (should be safe to disregard the overall brown hues as being dominant) :
Guessing this may more resemble some sort of final design, but, I wouldn't know de facto:
