I don't know if it's next, but it's definitely on the boards. I believe Gerding Edlen has the rights to redevelop that block, and it could possibly be our next tallest, if GE can convince the city to up the height limit and allow FAR bonuses. A few years ago, I would've said that wasn't possible, but thankfully today, there seems to be a trend towards increasing heights (while still preserving public view corridors). That's vital to maximizing density in the core and slowing sprawl at the edges.

GE has a lot of credibility and political good will built up. They should have the city on their side.
