The second (a) the new owner decides to break their silence re: The Hole and/or (b) any information becomes publicly available in records (planning documents, court documents, etc., we scour them all frequently), we will report on it. The “conventional wisdom” as they say is that the project will be something similar to what had been approved for the site before everything descended into legal-fight (covered extensively here too) madness .. though Whole Foods officially was out of the project as of a couple years ago.
There remains a placeholder on the Madison Development (new owners) site: http://www.mdgllc.net/projects/mixed/005.htmhttp://www.mdgllc.net/projects/mixed/005.htm … if there was a significant change, they would have to take it back through Design Review, as the land-use permit etc. was issued for a very specific project. No updates online (and we have even gone downtown to look at the file) in a long time:

We do have a more recent report on the ex-76 station than linked above. It is up for sale.
