Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Build it up closer to Grand than their initial vision. Cut the width of Oak in half and eliminate on street parking. It’ll fit, but barely.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

So stadium related developments east of Oak are dead for now? Would be a mistake to still not buy up a large amount of the property over there and plan some things. There are sites for two big buildings and a series of smaller gaps for smaller buildings.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

People living at the Sulgrave on the Plaza moan about the glare of the lights on the Plaza Tennis center. How would the ballpark affect the residents of 2 Light? Would be wise for someone to ask folks who live at One Cardinal Way. I imagine it’s something you get used to over time and when choosing...

Re: Downtown Buildings with Activity

The building on SE corner of 10th and walnut has had some light demo activity going on lately. Couldn't find a thread on that building, it was boarded up a year or more ago? Got confirmation this is being turned into condos. Maybe 18? Not a bad usage. Will be small condos though, so hopefully more ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Why would we keep the K if we have a downtown ballpark? The impression I get from Kull's post is that if they had to do this again, squash any indication that a demise is imminent for the K. Make the sales pitch solely for a new stadium and leave the discussion for what happens to K for a later tim...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

My opinion on development east of Oak is that you can demolish everything north of the U-Haul building on Locust as well as the building at 1500 Oak and the newer building at 1620 Locust. Those sites are large enough for some new buildings. Vacate 16th between Oak and Locust. The small gaps on Oak, ...

Re: Three Light

Photos from today. Per the property website, there are only 32 apartments left. Apartments.com says 36 are available. So we're looking at 87.5%-89% occupied. I knew it was looking more full recently based on the number of lights on at night. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53606830865_9ec82c664e...

Re: Redevelopment of old Quartermaster Depot site at Hardesty and Indy Ave.

Is that a roof top pool or just an awning? This is going to be a big shot in the arm for the Northeast, Independence Ave, even Truman Rd.

Ridership continues to blast past expectations. Now they're having a new issue: they can't keep up with demand.
