Pennway Point discussion has moved here: viewtopic.php?t=21289grovester wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 8:22 am I like seeing an interesting project go into a difficult location. Not sure the financials would work with pricey land at 19th and McGee.
I don't think it would have any problem getting visitors from Crown Center or Union Station, it's a straight shot and visible from both. Boulevard is in an even more disjointed spot and has not trouble attracting people from both downtown and the burbs.
Could ultimately be a good stepping stone to some of the other far flung spots, Penn Valley, SW blvd, west side.

Not likely, unless it actually sold? Needs a new elevator, too -- just ask anyone who's held an event on the upper floors.normalthings wrote: ↑Fri Jun 03, 2022 4:26 pm Firestone Crossroads Building is being converted to hotel? A new sprinkler permit was filed today.

Re: Misc Crossroads News
I believe it's only the 6th floor. I think a concept like Freehand would do good in that building.

He half-asses all projects, assuming they're ever completed.

His track record is beyond abysmal. I have no idea why the city allows him to get away with all his semi-permanently unfinished, eyesore projects.

Now that's a stupid project that the city is better off saying no to and waiting for something better.AlkaliAxel wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 4:38 pm Woah! Holy shit! Some downtown news finally hits!
