Demolition at Site of Future Marriott Hotels

A few of the folks I follow on Twitter have posted photos of demolition occurring at (what I believe is part of the) site of two planned Marriott Hotels at Ninth and L.   Here are their photos, which appear to show the demolition of an old warehouse/garage in the alley behind the Whitman.  I have heard of no impending plans for developing the Courtyard by Marriott and Residence Inn on the site, so my guess is that the cleared space will be used for staging and parking in the near term.
