    For whoever buys it from the electric company. So far as I know, it is not dedicated to a particular use. The owner of the windfarm sells the juice to the power company, the power company sells it to whoever happens to be running their hairdryer in Los Angeles that morning. Most likely DaRizzle, if I had to guess.

    I'm a huge procrastinator sometimes! I still wish that Vistas built their HQ's down at SoWa. That area needs more diversity, every tower in that neighborhood is residential so far.

    Speaking of SoWa, a new 18-story apartment building is up for review.

    Not trying to derail the thread. But....

    That is privately owned land? That wind farm goes on and on and on and on. It's incredible.

    I don't know the specifics of that particular windfarm. But windfarms on the Oregon side, the wind power company pays individual farmers for the rights to put up windmills on their land. The land under the windfarm you are looking at may be owned by a number of different people/corporations, the wind power companies have separate contracts with each of them.

    Vistas is struggling and will most likely never move into their new HQ.

    Be curious what you are basing this on. Seems to me a company with revenues approaching $10 billion likely has the capital to finish the building.

    A little birdie told me that PAW may finally start back up this summer or early fall.

    After three years of being stalled this timeline is encouraging.

    But is he restarting with the original plan, or the truncated tower that was announced at the time of the shutdown?

    The slightly shorter revised version.

    It'll still be nearly 100' taller than the Fox Tower.

    What could have been. :sigh: The project is not dead, rather it's stalled indefinitely.
