Yes, the Milner announced the plans for a conversion back in 2012. It was never in danger of being abandoned. This isn't so much a "new" development as getting it kickstarted. It does sound like the Strathmore is further ahead as I've seen it announced consversion will begin in a few months, whereas no media reports seem to be setting a season for the Milner, still.
As for the Corridor, even though it won't travel it, I wonder if developers are just waiting until they see the shovels in the ground for the streetcar? It's my gut feeling that when they see the community is committed to the revitalization in a concrete way, we'll start seeing more stuff south of MLK/Myrtle.
