Ellard's proposal has underground parking, which I like a lot. Makes for better use of the property overall. Has a reputation for quality work.

Henderson: NO! Took forever with the Legacy development (have people already forgotten multiple missed deadlines??), final product almost nothing like original proposal, existing buildings are ugly EIFS with peaked roofs much more suited to suburban development and hideous 6 foot lettering on green awnings. Having said all that, he'll probably win because he's buddies with OCURA; was referred to as "Mike" in several interviews.

Wiggin: NO! Had his shot which was completely unrealistic; don't want to hear about the economy, it was just a bad proposal. New proposal is square and unattractive.

Tanenbaum: attractive proposal and good track record of downtown properties. I'd put this one number 2 behind Ellard.

Home Creations: strange design and complicated proposal.
