curbed reporting that a fence has gone up...

this would make sense as when Gilbert acquired the lot about 10 months ago part of the provision was that he must start construction within 18 months..

Some rules that also came with it as a reminder:

" If Gilbert wants to build Z-Lot 2.0, it needs to be a swanky, top-shelf facility. It would need to include "substantial" retail/commercial space on Monroe and Randolph. Also required: the capacity to stack at least four stories of non-parking on top, just like the Griswold apartments in Capitol Park. There's also one more requirement that must be met regardless of what gets built: construction must start within 18 months."
