There have been some inconsistencies in terms of what 4L will actually be.

- Is it still planned to be a hotel/apartment combo? There were a few posts here a while back stating it could be just a hotel.
- Any speculation of the floor count? Some websites list it at 25 floors while most here seem to be under the impression it could be around 30-40.

Every mock rendering that's ever been shown has it taller than 3L. Not sure if that'll be real or not but that's what's always been shown.

4L sounds like it will be wherever Cordish builds next, likely an apartment-only tower to replace the retail building at the NW corner of 14th & main if you've followed discussions here. The original 4L in renderings on the theater block (SW corner, part of the 'cordish wall' rumored to be or contain a hotel element) may come later. I doubt they're in a rush to develop any hotel with current occupancy rates.

Have to imagine Cordish once again waits for 3L to be leased before building this. But damn do I want it built before Summer 2026

To say what the cordish people can't, a lot of the early 3l are people moving from their other buildings. Once they open proper leasing (not people already with apartments in their building) they get a better idea of demand.

I'm getting ready to go through leasing in this area so I'll report back on what offers are.

Location is still being decided but one thing I know for sure is both sites are being bid to gather the total cost of one location Vs the other.

I'd bet on a smaller 4L at 14th and main next. This allows them to do a more affordable build while demand downtown still ramps up over the next 8 years. Also, building at the B&B lot while the cap is going in would be a nightmare.

Could see the world cup and hotel demand play into this as well.

If this is supposed to be a hotel, they’d be absolutely stupid not to get it by June 2026

But the good thing is they don’t strike me as stupid

They're 99% leased at 2L right now and you're correct, many of the early signups for 3L are folks from existing buildings. Expect 4L to look vastly different than 1, 2 and 3.

Do you mean aesthetics? Or in function and purpose?

A welcome change of pace. Any hints as to what it will look like?

Will it be taller than the rest? Any chance it will contain a hotel as originally planned?

I noticed that too the other day. Was wondering what it’s about.

Core and soil sampling as part of the overall budget process. Could be a deciding factor if they find tons of gravel is needed to firm up the foundation.

Not at liberty to say at the moment. All I can say is they're looking at a few options, all of which have been discussed on here over the last several years.
