Well crap I never even looked at that project bumber because they originally filed in 1999 (for other parts of the building) and figured a newer project number would be assigned, but I guess they put all the new stuff under the old number.
Digging through it all, it looks like all the permitting is for the Luhrs Building (NE corner of block) and not the Luhrs Tower (NW corner of block) It's the Luhrs Tower that has all the windows out and replaced by plywood.
As for the Luhrs Building it self, it looks like they have a tentant that is taking the entire building + the Arcade (1 story section between the Building and Tower facing Jefferson) but not the 1st floor itself. I wonder who it is and why haven't we heard anything about it in the paper?

It also looks like they are doing some exterior lighting of both the Building and Tower. This could turn out really nice if they do it like I've seen it in other cities
