It seems the garage project is not their primary concern yet. The Pizza place has not started so that may have dissolved since there is no parking if there is no garage.

Anyone know if their are plans for ground level retail? dry cleaners? or is this just going to be the standard downtown parking garage.

One day, presumably soon, this segment of Commerce will be quite nice.

Yet they keep building these buildings with parking garage podiums. The developers are still pandering to that god awful suburban, car-oriented mentality, which is thus only going to create even worse traffic congestion on the roads.

A garage like this would be perfect for green coverage and not the crappy vines that some developers plant and walk away. The last one pictured here is native grasses. So I imagine in our case a similar concept would be cool but be trimmed back once a year.
