Not a huge fan, but it’s better than the empty lot that’s currently there. Maybe if Uptown fills up with these smaller buildings, it can push some taller buildings to being built downtown.
This appears to be around 27 floors when you compare it to the nearby buildings in the rendering. It’s small footprint on the lot leaves room for the proposed Lexi tower.
What a great spot for a tower, at least from a Downtown perspective. It'll partially cover up the dull-looking Sheraton and make use of a relatively undesirable lot. Win win. Yes this is a great infill project. Affordable housing too. I might get on the waiting list haha I wish more undesirable lot...
I was thinking COS would be perfect in the old MS space. Billy Reid will open in a week and the Parachute store is open. I noticed Lucky Brand and GNC are now gone. Bath & Bodyworks will take over the old Peloton space, I assume at some point next year after Trains at NorthPark leaves the space ...
I saw people this morning at Cedar Springs and Oak Lawn taking selfies in front of the sign. I do think the strip from Oak Lawn to Douglas does feel much more cohesive. I just wish we could go midrise and get rid of the strip centers still left. This area needs more density for living. Building on ...
And the way it’s angled, you can’t really see the letters. I’m not sure a lot of thought went into these. Especially with the rainbow colors being backward.
The brick paver work is still going on. I assume once they are done with the main entrance side, they will move over to the other side. The white boards are still up on the new Frame location, not sure what the timeline is for that. Rolex is still under construction and the expansion of Bluemercury ...
With AAC losing parking as the area gets more infill, the parking isn’t such a bad thing. Hopefully it will be open to evening and weekend crowds to use.
Correct me if I am wrong, but is the Oak Lawn Branch Library of any service to the community still? I think its temporarily closed due to Covid, but the upkeep has been horrible for years and its sort of an eyesore. (I.e. lots of homeless camping there, tons of litter and trash, landscaping that is...
Build Out Carpenter Park, fill in a few of those vacant blocks there and you have a totally different environment. I hope we will see the small surface lots scattered around East Quarter developed into nice infill as well. There’s so much potential here.
