Were any of these stores that have closed doing well enough to relocate to one of the many retail spots available throughout downtown... especially on Euclid Ave.? Its a shame if we are losing all of these permanently ...

This is good news! The Standard is a great building- it was a bit out of my price range but certainly nice and to me not a bad location. Once those surface lots go away it will be back in the center of everything ? Now if they could just fill that retail... though that seems to be an issue with all of these new buildings that have retail spots.

I am really impressed with how quickly they seem to restoring the middle two sections of the building... they've already been cleaned and seem to be restoring the detailing that was damaged. Looks great!

Actively drilling now.

@mack34 Oh man ... everyone on the south side of Halle is going to go NIMBY ? I feel for you but at least you can still see the fireworks!! ?

Drilling equipment alert!!!

It is pretty amazing to think how far we’ve come... just a couple years ago these two projects being done was absolutely huge news on here. Now we have so much to monitor, including new construction, that we forget what a big deal this is! I won’t miss the cold, musty smell surrounding these buildings.

This is going to have such a big impact here, looking good! Am I the only one that thinks the Edge looks permanently unfinished??

Don't do this to us KJP... a clue? a hint? A blog? I will accept a private message with an explanation as well ?

I feel like (or rather hope) that this is a case of something looking worse in the renderings than in reality. These renderings are just not very good, to me. I like the reconfigured pathways and entrance to FWD, but I am concerned about the big dumpster containment right in the middle of everything... not sure how that is going to work.

Now that would be something if they redid the garage, wrapped in retail etc instead of a big dead box! KPJ, did you happen to hear anything involving the garage or were the plans just for the tower itself.

Sure, here you go

If Tower City is it why did Moreno say "less likely than likely at this point" ? Is he just trying to throw us off? ?

Sorry for the not so great angle but noticed just now they are taking off the panels from the easternmost building!

...and closing on the Beacon as well in the meantime! Seems a lot of these "smaller" parking craters are now getting picked off. Hopefully this leads to taking on the Warehouse District parking sea one day... although I have to say from the aerial photos posted recently in the Lumen thread I forget how large the parking lot is that Nucleus will eat up! ?

^ Interesting... does ANYONE has any REAL insight into what is going on here? All of these rumors about Google, and whatever is happening with Bernie Moreno ... there must be something going on but it sounds like it is changing. I wish we knew something legit.

I don't think it was ever truly in play? Just a future concept for the site?

The teasing!!! ?

This is going to have a great presence... I don't think I realized how much of a gap that parking lot was until I walk by this construction site.

I think its a great location for development since currently downtown (aside from the ballpark) "ends" rather abruptly with the parking garage. The area around the ballpark is mostly parking. If we can push development south here and also south past Prospect in Playhouse Square it would nicely connect all of this area with the rest of downtown.

Good to know... I keep watching that lot for any sign of activity since they said at the time it would NOT remain parking.

I believe City Club is 13 stories and 668 Euclid is about 8 stories? This will fill quite a gap! The old Hippodrome was 11or 12 stories I think?

So in reply to the tweet above... Stan Bullard said "Blockland. Site sighted." to which Bernie Moreno just tweeted "Less likely than likely at this point." So that is um... not so good? Or am I mis reading this

Nice! I will be happy to have my bank right across the street from me.

I liked the original concept for these and thought it was pretty unique. AT that time it looked like they were going with more of the wood-siding look similar to Alley Cat. I do not think everything needs to look the same at FEB but I really dont like the direction they went. Here was the original:
