Jags partnering with Cordish on up to $2 billion in new development, starting with Lot J.

Looks like they want a convention center possibly across the street from Lot J with a new upscale hotel and some office/residential.

Hmm. So parking garage, office space, some sort of live arena, hotel and retail mixed in on Lot J? I also see the bridge design has changed. The elevated bike/ped part will remain a highway. No visible incorporation of JTA's AV stuff either.

I don't see a convention center on the rendering they released.

From the renderings, it looks more like a hotel with exhibition space than a convention center proper.

Two serious bidders for the courthouse site is the word on the street.

For sure. Lamping literally said, "convention space and potentially convention center..."

I'll believe it when I see......cement.

I'm really skeptical that there's a market for more office space downtown. The stadium district should focus on apartments instead.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

A lot of it will be apartments.

Good, good. It says "office" in the renderings I saw, but I'm unable to watch it live.
