And this area's got two NIMBYs: the PCDC and the even more conservative CNA. I think the apartment tower's got a better shot than the club. It all still seems like a shot in the dark though. Have these two ever developed anything before? Sounds like a rich kid, a bored mom, and a friend with decent Photoshop skills. I'd love it all to happen but I'm betting it'll get flipped to EZ Park in less than a year.
Lol, it was designed by Ambit Architecture, who funny enough also designed 1528 Cherry Street which also seems to have about a 5% chance of actually happening.
