^ cool... i hope thats true. that would be an awesome space

this would be a shame if the project didnt go though. it always drives me nuts when developers are hush hush about their projects. that blurb above is the only thing i have heard for months. this is an absolutely prime spot and these units will sell like crazy. get it going gregories!

it looked like there were a bunch of people working inside the white corner building to the west. any guesses on whether the mcalpins workers were just using the spare space to spread out or is someone actually doing something with that space. those buildings sure look great from the outside...i hope they can match the pain on the bottom portion though!

wow...thats a lot taller than i had originally thought...still looks a little squat

to hell with atlanta

yikes

awesome

^ wow...were the banks proposed so long ago that people were still drinking coke from a glass bottle?

back to parker flats - seems like work stopped up there just as soon as it started. they are about halfway through demolition of the planting beds on central and fourth and only about half of the paving has been ripped up.

fantastic! all the luck in the world to these guys

dirt is a-movin' down here too

id say the burnt orange is brick, the light orange is wood, and the green is the tint of the glass...seems right on pace with any other building in the city

what a horrible shame....how in the world could that property not have been working into the plan

the developer probably blew his nose on a photo of the original building and that design was the result...then told the architect to "design" it this way or he would be fired. i havent been in the profession long...but if there is one thing ive learned its that the architect is not always the designer and that not very often are their opinions valued.

do they just pull these ideas out of their butt? a hockey rink??

i think tearing down the skywalk from fountain square to the westin will do wonders to visually open up fifth street from on end to the other. i dont recall the huge circle on the 525 vine building from any design renderings...should be interesting. the 580 rehab will do wonders as well. now if we can just get 5/3 to actually follow through with the reclading of the parking garage that whole area will really have tranformed. go cincinnati!

^ ahhh yes i understand now...those three pole "standards" are crap. some of them dont have anything on them too

^ i guess i was refering more to the properties on mcfarland. i know there is a vacant poperty (well there is a dry wall or paper hanging company on the ground floor) that sits right next to the red fourth & plum building.

^ agreed. it will visually clean up that corner quite nicely. who knows, maybe some of the vacant buildings there and empty lots will get a shot in the arm with some development of their own. they are down there doing steetscape improvements to central as wee speak.

i cant believe it but i actually completely forgot about this project. i can imagine what the hold up is...what an awesome location these thing would sell in no time.

drove by the site today on my way up to mt adams for lunch and there was all sorts of activity mainly dealing with removal of excavated rock...but progress none-the-less

i noticed the "eviction" warning for the cars that still park in that lot for tomorrow....i guess it might be a reality after all

well its about time!

id say there is a whole lot more concrete work to do...at least a couple levels of parking garage to go.

man that is just nuts. i work just north of pbs and i didnt hear a thing
