Yeah, if only that were true, Ivanoff.

The city says "no, your building will ruin traffic and has too much parking allotted" too many times and you take your ball and go home.

There's a reason there is no parking minimum in DT Seattle, but I guess you couldn't take the hint.

We're returning to agrarian culture. CRE is doomed. Commercial high rises will turn to dust. Cities will become farms. Capitol Hillbillies will suffer at my flames.

Uh-huh.

Schnitzer makes me think of Schnitzel. Maybe that's why it failed. Nobody wants to work in a building that reminds them of chicken-fried steak.

Remember, the average Seattle citizen has MORE than one vehicle per adult.

MORE.

Besides, the building is ugly as sin.

If that's the best Schnitzer can do, I'm glad it won't be built.

What is going on at NBBJ?

Their designs are all so hopelessly tedious, instantly forgettable and banal.

They need some fresh talent and new ideas.

"Reits, CRE, all down the tubes...."

As a sector, commercial multi-family housing is where I think there is real concern and worry going forward.

@8; Yeah, right, like Daniel's goofball building will ever get built. Thing didn't pencil in a good economy. He just wanted his name on his new "Recital Hall" (and special favors down at North Lot).

It doesn't really take long for one of those buildings to be filled. Sometimes if you build it, they will come.
