[3][4] The five-story, 217-stall underground parking garage extends north from the tower's lot to a site that is occupied by a 16-story hotel that opened in 2018.

[5] The site at 2nd Avenue and Pine Street was originally proposed for a 240-foot-tall (73 m) residential tower developed by Paul Brenneke and planned to break ground in 2006.

[9] The project broke ground in 2007 and was expected to be completed in 2009,[10] but construction was halted in September 2007 because of the then-ongoing financial crisis, and designs were revised to eliminate over 100 proposed condominium units after only 20 of them had been sold.

[13][14] The half-block property was bought by Chicago-based Equity Residential in 2012 for $22 million,[15] and the company announced its plans for a 39-story apartment building in January 2013.

[17] A 16-story, 229-room hotel on the north side of the lot, facing Stewart Street, was proposed by Widewaters Group and began construction in 2016.
