Two vacant parcels in Waterfront Village have been opened up for proposals by the City. One right next to Shanghai Reds that can't have residential due to convenants and the other between Portside and Marina Park. The Portside site had a proposal (low-density) shot down by neighbors. They wanted the lot turned into a park.
It'll be interesting to see what comes in- proposals are due 11/9. With Waterfront Place sales going well at high prices, there should be some competition for at least the Portside site. Stay away NIMBYs.
