I think when they actually do excavation on that lot they're going to get a treasure trove of historic stuff. Apparently "underground storage tanks" are a big impediment to that lot's development--my theory is that's where one of Al Capone's speakeasy/distilleries is/was.
Also, on that ASU map, I'd like to see a lot more intensive, taller projects. The only one that looks like it could remotely impact the skyline is the one across the Westward Ho.

Maybe the other residential element on the same block as the law school could also add some height, but ASU won't be our solution for tall buildings downtown. Most of their developments in all of their campuses are mid-rises, and their high-rises tend to be on the shorter end of the spectrum.
Hopefully with ASU and the Bio campus growing, demand for office space and housing generates some height in the area.
