The Book Tower is my favorite downtown building and I would love to see it re-occupied, but I think I will remain skeptical for the moment.
There is no announcement, that's why the wording is odd. This isn't supposed to be known until the deal is done which is why they're intentionally vague about it.

I read it as it's a given that it will be residential with some hotel floors and retail and restaurants on the ground floor. There's no other possible uses.
