Chef, is this what you were talking about? It was proposed to be on Front, but it fell through, then was re-proposed to be 3 or 4 floors where Archimania would have their office, but that fell through too, around 08 I think when the economy tanked. Archimania still owns the lot, and I think there's paid parking on it now.

Here is the second proposal that was to be their office.

You can tell how old that rendering is by looking at One Commerce Square in the background and seeing SunTrust at the top.
