547,000 square feet of office space will be removed! That is more than half the entire complex.

I knew some of it would have to go but this seems excessive.

They don't need 440 parking spaces for their own use... Most the hotel guests will not have cars and we are only talking about 125 living units plus a small amount of office space.

It seems every new development downtown wants to overbuild parking.
