Yea, I am about ready to say 100 Mill is a no-go, unfortunately. The developer has little-to-no experience and with Kimpton signed on for months now, what could possibly be the hold up? With the Omni dead and Hayden Flour Mill essentially not happening, Kimpton was the last upscale boutique/lifestyle brand hotel planned for Mill. The designs were pretty great and heights appropriate for that gateway... disappointing.
I'd give 7S more time. Something in their proposal seemed to indicate a rather long timeline from what I remember and they haven't even been floating a brand for their hotel component. I think the City has an interest in this project going through because the garage was to include public parking (even though there is a surplus, there might be demand 20 yrs from now!). Another great project - the design, the target audience, the location... but I don't think it's doomed.
OTOH, Alliance has yet to break ground on Broadstone Lakeside, correct? And, Crescent seems to be wishy-washy on the agendas... I never understood the push for randomly making 1st Street an urban corridor, but since it has already begun taking shape, I would much rather they finish the transformation from industrial to mixed use.
