So is it the area that's the parking lot, that little shelter thing, and the flattened out areas between the warehouse looking building labeled Forest Dental Products, Inc. and NW 231st to the east and west and Campus Dr and the MAX on Google maps?
Anyone know if there's any plan for the empty site at NW Cornell and 231st? That would seem like a good site for a taller building to kind of anchor the site at a major crossroads. It would seem like a good spot for a decent business class chain hotel. I can think of a number of similar Sheratons, Westins, Marriotts, Hiltons, etc that have built towers on similar sites that are near both transit and a major employer.
It seems like an obvious gateway type location, but given what's across the street I'm not hopeful. That and having the airport nearby probably limit the options for it.
