The Hay Street Parking Deck s unfinished story doesn t yet have an ending.
Jordan Jones, project manager with PCH Development Co., acknowledges it: saying the project has been in the works for even a little bit is a stretch. A little bit s a nice way to put it, he said with a laugh. It s a long journey.
Progress on the project, which is expected to eventually be a parking deck with an office space and a Hyatt Place Hotel on top, has crept slowly since it was approved several years ago.
The COVID-19 pandemic hindered the progress, and despite having financing, a general manager and a building permit secured to start building the two towers, construction had to be paused in March of last year, Jones said.
