Strange that this was blocked, but I guess it makes sense that the pier structure might artificially reduce the number of park spaces.

Looks great! Since the existing building is remaining and is not being incorporated into the new building, I guess they are planning to rent out the space?

Wow! That article seems to provide details about the 22 story apartment complex, which makes one think the plan hasn't been scrapped. I had heard the engineering revealed that it would be too much weight atop that parking garage, but this was only hearsay. I hope it actually happens, along with development atop the other parking garages of which he has air rights. 

My impression was that they added that piece in to provide some context. I wouldn't consider that an endorsement of the project's shovel readiness.
