Momentum, and the later phases require infrastructure that is both time and cost prohibitive. The townhomes are on grade, later faces are on a banks-esque parking garage platform

Have them rent storefronts?

I had heard around 20 stories. Not sure if it ever made it beyond the feasibility stage though

Scaled down from earlier rumors. Wonder if economic factors caused the downsize?

I think the windows have to be tinted to keep out sun for the simulators to function properly.

Exactly. This will also serve as temporary football practice space due to any delays on construction of the new facility.

If they would extend the horizontal glass at top and bottom it would make it more interesting and provide a reason for the "kink". Probably a budget issue.

Where is this going?

The down side would be you would have to change transportation nodes at the bottom and top of the hill, an incline (where the streetcar drives on and drives off) would be much more convenient in that regard. If you want to change transportation at top and bottom, then you might as well ride the bus instead of building a new transportation type (aerial tram).

Is there any chance of rebuilding an incline to go up the Clifton hill, or can it not be done with modern streetcars? It would be nostalgic, unique/touristy, and I would think cheaper than a tunnel.

I think the design would benefit from a horizontal datum to express how it accommodates the grades more clearly, about 1/3 of the elevation up. It might also satisfy your design for a cap by bringing in a horizontal element, even if not at the top.

Half field is remaining as is (and is part of the reason all that glass from the indoor practice field faces north, to maintain the connection.

No, that is actually the elevation along Corry of the new indoor practice facility. SDH is much more centrally located on campus.

The last image looks like it is paying homage to Sanders Dining Hall. Everything else looks very, very nice.

I have a project on E. 15th Street in OTR, 8 condos with an elevator. Does anyone have a GC recommendation?

Google maps:

^ I think the idea is that the 5th/6th "parcel" is earmarked for the convention center expansion.

I think they mean trips not people. (i.e. if someone came out all for days it would be 4 trips even though it was only one individual)

This may be outdated information.

Yes. If Aftab can rally support behind it. Historically, downtown landowners have been against increasing competition (other developable land)

As far as I can tell they are beyond speculative, they are planning their "village" redevelopment around it for a year-round draw.

^ The project is north of the stadium. In planning and design stage.

Once again, the new arena is going by the FCC stadium. Arena aside, that narrowing of 75 looms large for the future of our city.

^ The new arena will be by the FCC stadium.

I think it is there to tie in the space to the convention center, otherwise it will look more like a missing tooth.
