The
acquisition of the Office Depot site by Sage Hospitality included not only
the Office Depot building on Block 046, but also the surface parking lot
across the 16th Street Mall next to Sonada's on Block 047. The parking lot
parcel on Block 047 will be used for construction staging for the W project
and then, after the W's completion, provide Sage with another exceptional
development site, although specific plans for that parcel have not been
announced.
The only
other land currently vacant on this block is a small run-down surface parking lot
at 15th and Market.
At one
point back in the 1990s, there was a proposal to replace the Office Depot
building at the corner of Market Street and the 16th Street Mall with a
mixed-use residential mid-rise tower with ground floor retail and a shorter,
companion building across the Mall where the surface parking lot is located
(see Block 047). But the project never made it off the drawing board. |
