Is the park and the new residential tower going to be built at the same time? Or is is suppose to be built later?

According to this recent news clip, the development is suppose to be competed in 8 years with the first restaurant opening at the end of 2024. We’ll see if that pans out….

I'm sorry you are crestfallen but this is just a way of de-risking the first phase. Originally Phase 1 was to be three high-rises and the following phase would bring the total to five high-rises.

The shape of the GS buildings cuts into portions of what was originally park space so even that's not as good as the original renders/plans! lol Yep, and the only way it’s connected to Field Street is through a small entryway type corridor. Previously, the timber mid-rise was much smaller allowing ...

Yep, those renderings were in the DMN as well. That’s why I feel the way I feel about it. Nothing memorable whatsoever…maybe we’ll be surprised by the ground level?

Where's the distinctive architecture for the GS buildings? They look like squatty suburban office buildings with no distinctive flair at all. Just run of the mill architecture. I guess the two taller buildings replace the 80 and 50+ story towers originally featured. They look like their in the 35 t...

^^^I can’t even defend this anymore. I had such high hopes…but it is what it is. My initial thought was ehh. But like y’all have said, I’m not too surprised either. Many of y’all did call it wayyyyy before they released these renderings.

With 1M square feet of space spread across three 9-15 story buildings, plus the park, there won't be much room for all the 80 story towers! hahaha For what it's worth, I really like the density and the jobs. I just think they need to stop showing the rendering featuring all the towers. That's not w...

Our city has indeed grown so much. That night time shot is a little blurry but beautiful nonetheless. We have such a beautiful skyline.

Good point. 540 apartments. So probably around 700 people were living there. That's a good chunk. Hopefully, the developer follows through...

Our city has been growing rapidly. All we need is a cherry on top (a supertall or a new major skyscraper) and it would take our skyline to the next level. We already got a really nice amount of high-rises.

Right! But I’m glad we’re getting additional density even with the shorter towers.

I just noticed another interesting nugget in this latest report. The article says Balfour Beatty is working on a 4.5 acre mixed use project. Earlier we were told the entire site is 11 acres; so yes, it appears there is still room for other buildings. True. But I’m not confident it’ll happen. It has...

dallaz

This is only for Goldman’s portion of the project right? Prolly got a little ahead of myself and thought it was the entire development. I wasn’t expecting buildings that short. Basically mid-rises.

dallaz

Also…on Google, the North End Apts are “permanently closed”.

This is just a big bust in terms of impact on the skyline. There isn't going to be an 80-story tower in this development, just more squatty ho-hum Hunt buildings.
