[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2018 at the earliest, if ever.

[/quote]
What? 2018 approved or concluded?[/quote]

The question asked when the project would be approved. Given that there are now two-year leases on the site, 2016 + 2 = 2018. That would be the earliest the project would receive approval and GDS could break ground.[/quote]

The PUD can move forward and be approved during the lease.  Once zoning relief is granted, there's a permitting process. Even without the lease, it's likely be 2018 before groundbreaking.  And that's not inconsistent with a 2020 completion date.

PP is right that school could be rebuilt before the commercial project is developed.  Wouldn't surprise me if GDS ends up selling the Wisconsin Ave property to a developer post-PUD (thereby losing any future revenue stream) just to pay off some of the debt associated with land assembly and/or to fund school construction.  I guess a sale/leaseback deal for the L/MS might be another option.  I just don't see the school attracting $60-80 million in donations to rebuild its facilities any time soon.  [/quote]
