I just happened to also notice that the parking lot was empty as I was walking by this afternoon. Originally, I was just going to take a "before" picture of the site diagonal the lot from the DMA when I noticed something was definitely different. It was a bizarre sight seeing it sit empty ...

http://www.mlinetower.com/ lists it as 20 stories.

Well what's interesting is is that the renderings still show a grocery in the larger space so they are obviously still hoping for a small time store in the building.

The link to the 5G Studio design shows the studio's work for a previous (re-)developer of the building.
