Re: Plaza Environs

Heard the 45 Main project is dead. Jasty5 confirmation? From what I've heard its on the backburner, not necessarily dead. I haven't checked in on that recently though, something could have changed. It is a valuable spot with the streetcar coming and considering the views and proximity to the plaza/...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)

Would be nice if this 9-story plan happened, but looking at the floor plans, I can tell that it's just a concept. The developer says that each floor will be its own condo, but they'll be from 4400sf to 5800sf in size. That's ridiculous. I know of at least three condo owners on the plaza or downtown...

I heard that this is being sold to the contractor who is planning to take it forward to finish it themselves.

What's your source? I live near the plaza and walk around it frequently after hours with my dog, I haven't noticed anything.

Re: OFFICIAL - Reverb (1800 Walnut)

Isn’t the unit mix also somewhat of a problem? I heard there are no 2-bedroom units at all in the building.

Re: Plaza Environs

I think this may be mentioned on other threads, but I can't seem to find it. I am hearing that a proposed project at 45th and main (old Holiday Inn) is picking up steam. BMcD is doing the architecture, and the owner is Americo, same owner as Waddell & Reed. Design is apparently progressing and i...

Re: 4711 Belleview

As a nearby resident I’d love to see something like a Walgreens or CVS anchored development. I think you have to couple it with residential to make it viable, but the area needs to add a few more neighborhood services. The slope and the one way street do make access more challenging... But not a dr...

When is this project going to happen? Also of interest, Cordish registered an LLC for investors in this project earlier this year. I heard that the project is currently being rebid to multiple parties, apparently Cordish is looking to switch up their construction contractor or at least test the mar...

Couldn’t find if there was a specific thread so I’m adding here. I am hearing that the holiday inn property is being sold and is in a 30-day due diligence period. The buyer is connected to Americo Life Insurance, same partner as the Waddell & Reed and Reverb projects. I am hearing they want to p...

Re: OFFICIAL - Waddell & Reed - 14th & Baltimore

Yeah. It’s completely lost on me why the city would give ROW for parklets in either case. The fact that B&M pulled a bait and switch on the last one makes me give them zero benefit of the doubt. Have we confirmed it was BM who did it or did the owner, Copaken, decide that it wasn’t worth the mo...

Re: OFFICIAL - Hyatt House (900 Broadway)

Reverb has gone up pretty fast despite being a Copaken project It must be the Burns and Mac involvement. They are 2 for 2 on fast project so far. I work with them on the industrial side, but I'd like to think we can bring resources to a project if the components are lined up. Ultimately, regardless...

Re: Poll: Does the Plaza need a drastic change, some change or on the right path?

As someone who lives nearby and frequently walks to the plaza, more neighborhood services would be nice. I like the high end barber shop suggestion. I also love the Deibel’s cigar lounge, maybe more high end and unique social settings like that? Also agreed with more residential.

Re: 4711 Belleview

I'm pretty sure that WPNA is not against development on the Madison/Bellvieu corridor as long as it considers traffic flow, etc. Most folks I know have been supportive of higher/better uses along that stretch.

Re: Waddell & Reed - 14th & Baltimore

I have seen the actual renderings of the building, and I do think it looks much better than the rough drawings posted on here. I wasn’t able to tell in the rendering whether there are three car entrances, that is disappointing if so. Hoping that initial feedback gets incorporated to improve the over...

Re: Westside happenings

I'm a big fan of contemporary/modern architecture, but 1800 Mercier looks terrible. The materials look cheap, and it looks like someone got punched in the face.
