Re: Freight House Podium Project - 20th and Walnut
It looks a little bit different from what it was when I was there, but it looks good overall. There needs to be variation in new buildings built around town and this one breaks from the mold a bit. It blends in well with the surrounding area and an additional 250+ residents is extremely beneficial. The one thing I’d add, and if a Lux employee is reading this forum because I know they do, make sure to include a mural on that western wall. Leaving it blank doesn’t look right.

Will Lux be building the proposed townhomes across Walnut from the apartments? I did see a remark about townhomes, but those weren't shown in the pics.

Is the Superior building still getting renovated? I don't see it
Re: Freight House Podium Project - 20th and Walnut
Looks reasonable, but what is going on at ground level? Looks like a significant blank wall past the garage entrance.

Where did this come from? I'd hope it's not a wall but sure does look like one

"Alston said his Freight House Village plan still calls for 250 apartments and a restaurant at the corner of 20th and Walnut. About 10 of the units will be walk-up, townhome-style residents"

Yes. The walk-up units will be on the west side facing Walnut Street. They’ll begin just after the parking entrance and exit and go most of the way down.

Re: Freight House Podium Project - 20th and Walnut
Good to hear, thanks everybody for the info!
Re: Freight House Podium Project - 20th and Walnut

Some news about the Podium tower in this article.
It says they could make it a hotel possibly, and are waiting about a year to do the RFP. Also wants it to be high-rise.

It reads specifically that they may remove the hotel component?

Ah, yes my bad. Was skimming it. I do wonder what the Strata status is if they're considering Podium here.normalthings wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 4:26 pm It reads specifically that they may remove the hotel component?

Two different developers on two projects that seem more conceptual right now. Would it have any impact?UMKC Roo wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 4:51 pmAh, yes my bad. Was skimming it.
