This has been scaled back a lot from what they originally were going after. The plan was to always do a smaller "work force" housing followed by a larger tower. I'm actually more optimistic that this could move forward because they cut many many floors off the tower from what I last was aware of.
Regardless of the developer, the project they have shown would be great for that corner. However, they've let that corner decay so much for decades that almost anything would be great there.
Sorry for the pessimism...I just know this company too well.
On a positive note, I really like the profile of the conceptual development on the Grand & Michigan corner. A large, low-rise base extending out to the street with a tower set back as shown would create a very nice feel. Seeing that tower end up 20 or 30 floors would be fantastic. Even just seeing the 11-floor conceptual version happen as it is shown would do a lot to make me feel at ease about the city's future.
