The project was delayed because of pushback from neighbors in the Chase Building, and by the time an agreement was reached, the recession hit. With the resurgent demand for apartments, and its prime location, I'm surprised it hasn't made a comeback.

I love the design, it's visually interesting and it would give that intersection a crazy level of urbanity--you'd have a nice "urban canyon" effect with the Clearwater Building and 8th and Main.
