I am going to assume that if they have come to this decision, they explored all other avenues. I would think they would want to keep the investment if it was worth it and not redo things just to redo them.

I dont know... I think that looks kinda dumb.. I dont think it looks good at all.

TBH id be ok with knocking those buildings down. I know i am in the minority here but getting something like this there would be huge

im on the edge of my seat!!!!!

Bring on ACT 2!! So when do we get to see renderings? haha

I drive by this everyday coming home from work.. I just am in Love with this project and all the good itll do for the area!!

isnt this on Madison ave... close to west 117th

I am going this weekend.. I love going to the movies

Oh ok, I got a little excited

Wait what? Could they be staying downtown?

I walked through the area today and they were digging a massive hole in the northern area of the fenced off area... I am talking 20x20 and 15ish feet down... never seen repave do that.. any thoughts

I drive home from the eastside every night, first night i saw this i was so confused... but now i love it!!

wait, punch bowl social is closing?

I just drove through this neighborhood! I am so \excited to see this and other activated! It looks so beautiful

I dont mind this at all. I kinda like the design for the area

any word on if the parking structure will be lined with retail/restaurants to tie into the warehouse district?

I couldnt snap a photo since i was on the shoreway but the view of all three of these projects rising up was amazing.. ill see if i can get a picture from a nice angle.. but it brought a tear to my eye!

This is true.. that place is ridiculously busy. I also think them not paying rent in a majority of their locations is just them being cautious and also still paying for the health insurance of all their furloughed employees. If i had a choice i would rather them do that then pay rent. ? Its not a desire of mine, just a thought since stark and the factory do have long standing working relationships

Not sure how to ask this, but what do you think the odds of say a Cheesecake FActory being put into this project? I would think that Cheesecake would want a downtown location and with the pandemic it might make since to close westlake and move it into the city center? That would be a hell of an addition i think.

I like how it looks and i like the idea of developing across east 4th also. I would hope that the parking deck would allow for a phase 2 or 3 type development in the future.. i wouldnt imagine them not developing it with that idea as part of it.. just in case

I poured some wine... and am waiting patiently...

Thatd be awesome.. Fixing that side of the street would do wonders for the feel of that area.. its like the last remnant of abandonment in the area.

now if they could just do something with the eyesore on the other side of the street....

This was right across the street from me.

the bar is not shutdown... you may still drink and shop
