On October 2, 2024 the HPC reviewed and approved a Substantial Amendment to revise the exterior façade of the building based on new information regarding historic material and overall integrity of the building from a historic preservation perspective.

On November 1, 2024 the change order reflecting the approval was submitted to the Building Department and it has been under review since.  Round 5 review comments were received from the Building Department October 12, 2026.  Round 5 response submission is planned for the week of November 2, 2026.

While the City continues to review the change order, they have allowed demolition, structural modifications and facade framing to proceed.  The site barricade was pulled back to within the site constraints and the traffic lane was re-opened in early July.
