What a nice looking building!

I very much like how it continues Whole Foods' street presence. ← Scratch that, I just noticed that 50% of the building's frontage is driveway. That's a mistake. That should have occurred on the side streets, not McKinney Ave. Otherwise it's a nice building. lol

Looks good. Really sucks that McKinney Ave facade isn’t more pedestrian friendly. Of course with the bars and restaurants demolished in this two-block area to make room for these towers, maybe not so many peds to worry about?? Doesn’t this plot have frontage on both side streets?

Surprised there aren’t more setbacks required by the low-rise resi immediately East. Wasn’t Whole Foods building required to put those townhome style units to both camouflage the parking and too blend in better with the surroundings? Lot of effort to make that happen, then across the street, straight up a sheer glass wall.

This thread was started in 2016. Seven years of nothing, git ‘er done already.

There's some fencing up at the parking lot of the old Jake's Hamburgers/Den buildings. Are they planning to start this residential tower soon?

Oddly, along with the fencing, there's a "for lease" sign which I'm pretty sure is new.

Another project on hold?

Found this. It seems like this one is still alive

This was published on Apr 20, 2023. I wish we had some type of timeline for construction though

The fencing up is promising.

So there’s 2 projects potentially going up next to each other? One being residential and another being all office space?

Yep. I just now noticed that I've been posting both projects on this thread. Sorry, about that y'all. I can see how that is confusing.

The office building is going in next to Whole Foods and the mixed-use tower is going in next to that.

Glad to hear that. I've been waiting on this to start since they closed Jake's.

Looks like it does have a projecting horizontal shade over a recessed pedestrian arcade, doesn't it? That's a lot more than the (fortunately) scrapped publicly-tax-incentivized CBRE hq tower was going to offer McKinney Avenue.

Also: mods please change title from 18 to 21 st.

Oh I see, I was thinking of the renderings of 2626 M, the office building, instead. But FWIW the new 2614 rendering seems to have a similarly elevated pedestrian canopy projecting from the glass.

Because of everything here maybe the thread title should go ahead and combine both unrelated towers too.
