Maybe I'm misreading the info in the site plan that was filed, but I don't think that parking lot is where this proposed project would be built. It gives an address of 300 Colorado Street. (That's where Sullivan's Steak House is.) It gives a legal description of: "LOT 4-6 BLOCK 028 ORIGINAL CITY"

This old document from 2006 which was a presentation by the Downtown Commission concerning Downtown Development mentions Block 28 as well (on page 3)

Quote:
The analysis that produced the attached maps was done block-by-block and, in some cases, on a lot-by-lot basis. Blocks were evaluated
"as improved" and "as if vacant." If the committee's subjective value of a block" as improved" was greater than $300 per square foot (land), it was
considered to be an unlikely candidate for redevelopment for the foreseeable future.

This analysis would eliminate from consideration obvious blocks such as
Block 39, (Hilton Hotel), Block 81 (Chase Bank), and other blocks that are
intensely developed. The analysis would also eliminate some of the not-so-obvious blocks such as Block 28 in the warehouse district (219 West, Sullivan's, etc.) and Block 16 which contains P. F. Chang's, Fleming's, Roy' and Houlihan's.
I'm wondering if this might actually be a smaller project built above what is currently Sullivan's and Sully's Side Bar.
