Anyway, Karp & Associates does good historic renovations. They've done pretty well on the Farwell.

How tall are we talking because I can just look at that lot and see a lack parking as a big obstacle.
We could probably get away with a boutique hotel without parking though those are usually only several floors. It'd be a nice filler, but nothing substantial.
It's unfortunate, but it'll probably be a repeating pattern with the smaller lots left in the downtown core. Unless you assemble enough lots together (and/or demolish something) or buy one of the bigger lots from the big players (Gilbert, Olympia, GM, etc.), you'll probably see shorter buildings on the smaller lots.
