What is going on with the Statler Site??

[Gistok]

Has anybody heard any more info in regards to the proposed development of the former Statler Hotel site?

It has been over 18 months ago since the rather subdued apartment plan was announced. They made a big ta-doo about it involving the mayor, and DEGC. It was announced that Village Green Holdings [[who happens to be the owner of the former Trolley Plaza and Millender Center Apartments, and other complexes totaling about 43,000 other units) was going to build 200 or 300 apartments on the site along with parking and retail.

If it's still being planned, it's been awfully quiet!

Along with the Hudson's block, the Statler block is the most desirable development site in the City and I'm wondering why it is still an empty lot with nothing going on yet??

Here's a Curbed article about in from August 2014... and it's been quiet pretty much since then....

Anyone know if this is still planned? Or is it on life supports?
