Yes, obviously this will be built in phases. I also posted the phasing earlier. This is an ENORMOUS development in the middle of the city. Like everything else transit-wise, it should have been built years ago. There are too many bus lines with pickup/drop off locations on the street, blocking pedestrians, and adding the the already chaotic traffic scene.
The residential tower would be about 1 msf, pretty large considering the max FAR on residential allowed in the state, though the governor wants to change that.
