^ For the record, that article is from 2009. Jim Thomas of Thomas properties spoke recently at a downtown business event, and said that they plan to build this tower in "the next 3 years." So I don't think it's in any danger of starting construction soon.
Even if it did start soon, there's a very large hotel on the site at the moment that would have to be closed down and demolished, for which they don't even have the permits yet.
