DG quoted from the MLS announcement just prior to the DDA approval: "Downtown is out of room. Expansion will now be vertical."

I would slightly disagree with that, as there are still some surface lots and other areas [[Foxtown) that could see development on vacant parcels, but for the most part, he is right. Immediate downtown CDB is basically out of room, so either you go up or start moving out into Midtown, Corktown, New Center with new buildings.
