hunterk, I became somewhat less confident in the timeline when the proj was bought by a firm based in the bay area. I may be wrong, & I hope I am, but I have a suspicion that since they're outsiders, they'll be taking a more leisurely path in actually starting groundbreaking on their proj.
The ultimate example of non locals going super slow in finishing their work is the owner of the clark hotel & ambassador auditorium bldg. However, locals who control bldgs & land in dt also have acted like absentee landlords too. So there's plenty of blame to go around.
And I'm not just putting on a smiley face when I say you're one of the few forumers in this thread who I recall as taking the type of shots you've done. I think it's cuz others aren't quite as interested in the smaller improvements, and cuz it does take a bit more effort to snap shots behind construction walls & of anything that isn't very new & very obvious.
however, I don't understand why you or anyone else is disappointed when a new proj isn't going to be a very tall tower, or more than 7 or 8 stories...esp if it's in the peripheral part of the hood. I say that cuz when I was in south pk a few months ago, the need to finally fill up all the gaps around there....& noticing how many deadzones still exist in that area....really stood out to me like a sore thumb.
