Community Groceries, a combination grocery store/restaurant dedicated to accessible and affordable less-processed food offerings, is projected to open next summer at 3501 Troost Ave., at the intersection's southeast corner. The store opened its first location at 640 E. 18th St. in the Crossroads Arts District earlier this summer.

In addition, at the intersection's northeast corner, a large U.S. Bank branch will open at 3443 Troost Ave., with its timing announced once final regulatory approvals are achieved, potentially in the first quarter.

Most of the city block southwest of Main and Armour would be transformed into a major streetcar-oriented residential project that would include several eight-to 10-story apartment buildings in a plan being pursued by Mac Properties.

The $110 million proposal also would renovate the old New Yorker apartment building at 3521 Baltimore, adapt the US Bank office building at the corner into retail, offices and residential, and build two smaller apartment buildings at Armour and Baltimore.

In all, about 425 apartments, many of them intended to serve the workforce and affordable housing market, and 45,000 square-feet of commercial and retail space is being contemplated.

"A lot of (the changes are) based on neighbor sentiment that maybe 425 units is too many," Cassel said. "As we tried to pare that down, we also then pared down what was the most expensive building to build. ... Bringing it down to what's basically a seven-story building allows us to take out the most expensive structural components of getting up to 10 stories."

Additional project changes include a slight drop in commercial space in a renovation of U.S. Bank's branch at 1 W. Armour Blvd., from 45,000 to 40,000 square feet, and a small jump in parking spaces — 187 to 193 — on surface lots and in a remaining portion of the bank's existing garage.

Mac's ability to land quality retail tenants was a bit of a question mark for me. They have never filled the retail space of their building on Main, and the tenants for the building in the SW corner of Armour and Gilham have been underwhelming.

It is also a good sign for the Troost retail market. Hopefully this will encourage some of these other developments to move along more quickly.
