I got curious about Preston Hollow, so I went to their website. Here's the "Featured Investments" page: http://phcllc.com/featured-investments/
From what I can gather, they provide the dollars and others do the 'dirt pushing'.

I'm with Lake on this one. This money moving is as much progress as the Shipyards until there are cranes and concrete on the site. That's when it's worth paying attention to.
So, to the young people fighting in this movement for change, here is my charge: march in the streets, protest, run for school committee or city council or the state legislature. And win. - Ed Markey

QuoteDIA to ask National Park Service for Metropolitan Park, Shipyards swap

The Downtown Investment Authority wants the National Park Service to consider trading Metropolitan Park for the city-owned Shipyards property.

The DIA's inquiry comes as its CEO Lori Boyer said Iguana Investments Florida LLC, led by Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan, plans to submit a new development proposal for the parkland. The DIA also is seeking to integrate public park space with private development on the Downtown riverfront.
