This is/was office+residential+hotel(+ some retail as well) That 350k sf of office sounds about right, although that was definitely less than half overall project sf.
Regardless, thoroughly mixed use projects such as this are typically meaningfully more challenging to pull off than single/primarily single use projects, even in stable financing and market fundamental conditions. Throw in what's happened with interest rates and capital availability in general (but most acutely felt for office) as well as what's happening in the office leasing market, and it's made pulling this project off that much more difficult.
Will be interesting to see what's happening over at 917 W Fulton - if that is actually moving forward near term, clearly that deal with Harrision Street was finalized (and perhaps another office tenant?). I believe that developer may have put together 1 or 2 deals for the retail space as well, but not 100% certain.
