I don't have the answers, but I hope someone does. My concern is if the 5 towers are broken up into separate parcels, this could turn into the Downtown version of the Packard Plant.
I was going to make a joke about world's tallest Amazon warehouse but who knows, with robotics these days maybe one tower, or a portion, could be utilized for warehousing, storage or parking. The Marriott is primarily a convention hotel. There's certainly enough space on the lower tower floors to have exhibit space for small conventions that might not compete with Huntington. It's going to take some out-of-the-box thinking that's for sure.
