The parking lot behind the RSI bank on Irving Street (left) is being looked at as a potential parking deck/office space development, according to City Administrator/Redevelopment Director Peter Pelissier.
“It’s all talk at this point,” Pelissier said in an interview after the May 7 Redevelopment Agency meeting, with a possibility of trying to get included in the Urban Transit Hub Tax Credit Program, which aims to attract office space in proximity to rail stations.
For those counting at home, that’s a 524-space parking deck currently at Main and Lewis streets, and plans for a 324-space deck at The Westbury, a five-story deck as part of the Town Center project, and a deck at the lot near RSI would make it four decks downtown.

That parking lot has looked the same since it replaced the former Cross Keys Inn, which burned down in a spectacular fire in the late 1960s or early 1970s.
The floor plans at the Savoy looked interesting, I hope they sell fast. Maybe the mountain of dirt across the street might get carted away then!
I heard about this project about 6-8 months ago. Another project mentioned at the same time was another ‘tower’ across the street from the new hotel at the corner where the jewelry store & Mango’s is currently.
