The
1111 E. Pike mixed-use project
, we're told, is on track for its planned late July opening. With the economy continuing to sputter along, it and the two big housing developments being built on Broadway might be the last projects we see completed on Capitol Hill for a long time. Many projects simply won't be started. But others will remain stuck -- empty lots, holes in the ground. Earlier this month, Puget Sound Business Journal documented a city list of
development projects around Seattle that were stalled
by the harsh economic environment. Here are the Capitol Hill area projects in economic limbo:

A construction overhaul stuck in limbo
These are only the largest projects. Elsewhere on the Hill, there are homes and rehabs also stuck in mid construction and renovation like this cool old house on Aloha. We'd like to compile a list of limbo projects here on CHS. Leave a comment or
send in a note
about other construction efforts in your neighborhood that are stuck and we'll see what we can find out.
