Curious as well. There is some sort of hold-up here. Permit issue?
Loan hasn't closed yet? (that would surprise me though, as I'd have expected the loan for this one to close right before they commenced demo)
Something else?

it's a good thing they made sure to demo the existing building before they had their construction financing secured.

now we get to have another ugly dead-space hole in the urban fabric of michigan ave. for god only knows how long!

This makes sense. I knew there had to be something going on - either with financing or something unexpected site-related that was discovered.

Construction was supposed to have begun in Nov. This means that it was likely a party specific issue that caused the deal they had prior to then falling apart. This should be/have been no big deal, as it's an A+ location, solid developer/equity investor, etc in terms of fairly easily (it's still a process of course, these deals take time to put together) being able to replace the debt with other party(ies).

At the moment, we're in a global public health crisis......with significant economic and financial market reverberations. Things look VERY iffy for the next couple quarters.



So, this complicates things.
