Forty stories sounds exciting, just hope the city council doesn't knock it down with restrictions.

As of the past four or five days there has definitely been a flurry of heightened talk. More importantly, a number of benchmark statements from those
who are the majority property owners and the primary developers. I'll round up the latest scuttlebutt and post it below for you. Thanks by the way for the inquiry.

I asked all the questions that you are all going to ask now, such as the height, which buildings will be torn down, the hotel operator, etc, and he said that he didn't ask those
questions so he doesn't know. If I hear any additional information I will let you all know.

I'll wait for the announcement to get too excited though.
Who is our guy who does the hypothetical images of downtown so we can get a sense of how this would impact the skyline? I always enjoy those.

Pictured, a former mockup of the future rumored Zions Bank Tower, which would be of a similar height to the Convention Center Hotel(at the northeast corner of the block).
The Convention Center Hotel would be located on the left of this mockup, at the opposite northwest corner of the block.
Missing is the newly completed 111 Tower, immediately across Main Street, to the right.
