Plans for a mixed-use building at this site date back over a decade, although prior entitlements for a near-identical project expired in 2022. In the time that has elapsed, the massive parking lot surrounding the onetime headquarters of Parsons has been transformed into a larger mixed-use complex consisting of offices, retail, and housing.
