Glad to hear about a "City Club 2" also! Hopefully it'll come together and have more affordable options because the leasing agent I reached out to said this project's "HUD affordable options" start at "$1045"...and that's for a studio with a Murphy Bed.

• Move ins start along Main in February and the last portion of the building (along 19th) will be completed and opened by June.

• Rents start at just above $1,000 for their "affordable" "nano" (400-500 SF) studios. The most expensive unit rents for $3,900. No utilities are included in the rent, neither is internet nor parking. Parking is available in the garage below for an additional $150 a month.

• I asked what the restaurant will be and the leasing agent said she couldn't say yet because the restaurant wants to wait to release it themselves. However, she did say it's an already established local restaurant I would know. Also, the restaurant is not two stories and is located entirely on the roof and will have a wine bar too. The ground floor below the restaurant will actually be part of the lobby for the building.

• A market will be going into the retail space along Main. The leasing agent said a new "DGX" store will being filling the space. This is Dollar General's equivalent of a "CityTarget." There are currently only around ten of these stores open in the US. Here are some photos from a new one that recently opened in Cleveland...Link: https://www.cspdailynews.com/company-ne ... gx-c-store

• I also asked about a second phase or "City Club 2" and she said this is all that is planned at this point. Right now they are just focused on getting this project completed.

• A couple other notes, there are over 50 different floor plans in this project. There are many two story units as well as some studio ground floor walk-ups. They also have "convertible" units that are part studio, part one bedroom with sliding doors/walls the can open or close the space. Unit features range from terraces to Juliet balconies, Murphy beds in smaller units, different finishes based on price point, and a rooftop pool on top of the old Midwest Hotel.

Within approximately 3,400 sales floor square footage, DGX is expected to offer customers more items geared toward immediate consumption, including, for example, a soda fountain, coffee station and grab-and-go sandwiches. Additional items are expected to include a limited assortment of grocery offerings, pet supplies, candies and snacks, paper products, home cleaning supplies and an expanded health and beauty section. The store also is expected to feature items not typically found in quick-trip stores including a carefully-edited assortment of home, electronics and seasonal offerings. Finally, the store will include a checkout lane geared toward a high-volume, smaller basket size store with the goal of providing a quick and easy check out for customers.
