In not too long that building will be pushing 40 years old and I'm sure Earls management would be willing to consider offers.

It might seem like a nice piece, but access is poor (in particular the u-turn off main and winter months). Earl's reputation bypasses a clear access problem, but anyone else? Who knows

That would be sweet as hell!

I'm pretty sure the free parking would be quickly swept aside for the new construction, heated/indoor parking, proximity to all towers and indoor accessibility year round (especially to jets games).
The main concern must be the ownership of their current land, and desire to create value out of something they own. Comparing both locations, 300 is simply a lot better.
