Is that a surface parking lot in front of the building? Yuck.

Is the rendering the view from the NE? The grass hill has me a little confused.

Meh, as long as the design is accomodating to walkability/pedestrians, Im fine with this design. Its not like the original proposal design was earth shattering or anything.

of course, the big concern with 900 stalls at 2nd and grand is that most of those cars would dump right onto the streetcar tracks (non-revenue track in the current configuration and revenue track if the riverfront extension is built). Would it help if they spilled out onto 2nd? Is that even an opti...

The small building at 110 e 8th street has recently started construction activity.

If the entire property is set for eventual redevelopment, it is interesting that a Mexican restaurant (I believe the name is Jaliscos) is planning a move into the building directly north of the Midwest Hotel.

I don't have a subscription either, but I do hope they are encouraged to include a retail component wherever they build. Centropolis isn't exactly a pleasant street experience..

The apartment buildings between Wyandotte & Baltimore on Armour have been approved for permits according to KIVA. They have been fenced off for a month or so, I would expect work to start soon.

MAC has been incredible for Midtown's progress.

Hotel Phillips to include Italian restaurant, underground ‘speakeasy,’ coffee shop A new restaurant concept, Tavernonna Italian Kitchen, will open in downtown’s Hotel Phillips later this year. Tavernonna will “celebrate the rich, varied history of Italian food, wine and cocktails,” according to Arb...

Agreed. That section of Broadway looks like a wasteland. Hopefully they at least plant some trees.

The garage is getting the centropolis treatment with large metal louvres covering the front facade. I'm a little bummed that something more visually interesting wasn't used to hide the parking. CPTED likely says not to hide it completely. Bringing in light and letting screaming for help out is just...

The developer brags about surface parking for all residents on Facebook....it doesn't sound like they are too concerned with density or urbanity.

At least it is easier to say than Royal Squirrel.

The facade is coming off.

The new Corrigan Station website has some nice renderings. The Second Phase building looks much nicer than before. http://www.corriganstation.com/ https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8a31e0_7ff4b5e231034e4db369d4d3c85db93d~mv2_d_3300_2066_s_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_746,h_467,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01/8a31e...

I've also heard the Roasterie could be a tenant in the Pickwick building. Just a rumor though.

The renderings of 27/Gillham previously seen from a presentation last month are now on UC-B's website. I feel like this development should have it's own thread.

Word also says that the Muehlebach was found 'not eligible' for Historic Tax Credits, by the state of Missouri. No credits, no project, no building. Why was it found "not eligable"? I don't have that answer, if one is even given. I anticipate that they simply did not accept the premise fo...
