They are ridiculously lacking in details for the project, but I guess it's an update at least for the timeline. Looks like it will be a new building with parking garage, anywhere from 3 stories tall up to the local height limit

This story is in the news again only because PCT is going before Planning Commission next week to get a demo permit for the old Duffs Business Institute. There was a bigger story about the overall plan a few weeks ago. If you saw that story then you know all there is at this point.

Here's one I haven't heard of before, a Second Ave warehouse is planned to be converted to about 200 apts.

Do you have an address or intersection for the "old Duffs Business Institute"? I don't know which building you mean, and I'm always curious when something downtown gets torn down.
