The problem is that denying the extension wouldn’t exactly free up the parcel let alone generate increased interest to build there. It would basically just delay any possible future project by the multi-year long process of all over again.
The big issue is, as we all know, that it’s too expensive to build and win at the moment. What’s strange though is that there are a few other projects on this very intersection that haven’t even gotten approvals but still seem to be moving forward.
