FYI - The Irvine site is across the street from Electra on the northeast corner of Broadway and Pacific Highway.

Last word I heard was that CCDC owns the site and wants to put a park/plaza there for a few reasons.

1- lack of open space in the columbia area, east of pacific highway.
2- The garage below was structurally designed for only 5-7 stories, and anything taller would mean that the structure would have to be taken all the way down to the bottom of the garage, and redesigned.
