Is that god awful BOA branch and parking lot on the corner of Halsted and Washington sticking around? I remember when they were building it around 10 years ago and thinking what a waste of real estate it was. I seriously hope I'm reading that drawing wrong...

I'll have to admit that I've never been there (at least not that I remember). I don't really like that kind of American bar food (wings, nachos, anything with "ranch", etc), and it seems like such a waste to be in the neighborhood and not go to Au Cheval or the Publican, or something more sophisticated.
It sure seems like the BofA is staying.
But I don't mind that. It will be redeveloped at some point, and I would rather it be a different project to create a more varied block, rather than this building having a big podium that wraps around the Haymarket Brewery building.
