Re: Why Can't the West Bottoms Be Redeveloped....?
So, is something on fire in the West Bottoms? I'm seeing a lot of smoke coming from that general direction....

Fox 4 says it's 4th and Washington - near where 4th street connects Beardsley to the City Market, I think. There's a few apartment buildings around there.
guess it should be in a different thread. apologies.

Re: Why Can't the West Bottoms Be Redeveloped....?
From Tuesday's Plan Commission's docket:
"Case No. 14676-P-- About 2 acres generally located between W 9th Street on
the north, Liberty Street on the east, St. Louis Avenue on the south and
Wyoming Street on the west, to consider rezoning the site from District M 3-5
Manufacturing 3 (dash 5) to District DX-7 (Downtown Mixed Use, (dash 7).
Applicant: MCM Company, Inc., repr. Lathrop & Gage LLP"
I looked up MCM Company, Inc. They are out of Cleveland and do construction management and development. Anyone know what may be going on there?

I think this Biz Journal article is the only real source of info so far.
Correct, conversion to apartments is what I heard as well.

I noticed a new restaurant named "West Bottoms Kitchen" being renovated in a building a couple doors south of Voltaire. Couldn't find any additional info online about the place.

Hmm, micro apts work well when the immediate surrounding neighborhood has so many amenities it is an extension to your home so needing less space, like along streetcar line or on Plaza.loftguy wrote:Rumored micro-apartment development.
