Sorry if I got people's hopes up. Nonetheless, this just shows at a minimum level how much the facilities will bring to downtown. I believe, if you go by the description that I recapped below, the facility plan is a significantly larger than the description offered with the renderings. Also, this plan still includes building a CNL office tower. The CNL II that was discussed with the renderings, wouldn't that be a different CNL tower than the one that is presently being built and is almost complete? Might be a dumb question but I was confused about that. It just seems that if both descriptions include mentioning of a CNL tower, then perhaps CNLII is completely separate and there is no discrepancy. I hope these are old though. I'm sure we will see myriad of better, more exciting proposals.
