“Given where the Federal Reserve is, interest rates, the business environment – doing vertical development is simply not economically possible right now,” he said.
In March 2022, Silva said he hoped to break ground on a mixed-use project at the site as early as this summer. But on Tuesday, he said that likely won’t happen for at least a few years.

“We’d really like to enhance the experience, eliminate the parking lot..
