An official for JMC could not be reached to offer further details but JMC called the project "the first new tower in the market" on its website, a description that would likely be true for the Strip District if not for the city as a whole.


"Sources last year indicated that JMC was considering a project that could reach more than 18 stories and more than 500,000 square feet, a scale the company declined to comment on at the time.

Now JMC indicates on its website that its project for 1501 Penn Avenue could reach 750,000 square feet. To be sure, it's a project JMC characterizes as a future development that is as yet unrealized.

But if such a project were to come to fruition, such a building would rank among the 10 largest buildings in downtown, slotting behind the 790,000-square-foot Heinz 57 Center and before the 735,939-square-foot Fifth Avenue Place."

I wonder if this has any chance at all of life?
