    Was in the brewery district today and snap a photo of one of the Hoster buildings. It has windows now and looks great.

Honestly looks really good and will complement the nearby Jones Heel apartments pretty well. Just needs better screening for the garage. Either do murals or line the front side with lobby, amenities or retail.

Did it happen to list what materials they will be using? Obviously it’s brick, but what will the green be?

The green should be terra cotta

It also needs a cornice.

Wouldn't that be insanely expensive? I'd imagine it's paneling of some kind.

I think that'd be overkill, as there are architraves above each window line in the brick portion.

Overall I'm really liking the revisions made to the proposal. If the finished product ends up as presented, that would be a huge win for that portion of the neighborhood.

In this economy?! It’s probably green painted fiber cement panel.

Haha just thinly spray painted at that. But the commission will have no complaints.

Looks like the Zimmer project on the Whittier peninsula will start soon. I was actually hoping this wouldn’t happen and the land would be sold.

New multi-use path along the Whittier Street Bridge continues to take shape...

Looked like the new lights on the bridge could be installed relatively soon

This is interesting, wonder if they will add some retail, or if it’s required for them to submit a new application. UCT stands for Urban Center and this zoning district allows for mixed-use development, including residential, commercial, and institutional uses, with a high density of mixed-use buildings and is one of several districts in the downtown area

$300 million Whittier Peninsula project lands state grant for brownfield cleanup

 

"The state has awarded $10 million to help clean up a former industrial site on the Whittier Peninsula, paving the way for a $300-million apartment development on the Brewery District site.

 

The $10 million will be used to clean a 16.5-acre site on the Whittier Peninsula formerly used as a rail and scrap yard, according to the state.

 

The cleanup will allow Zimmer Development Co. of Wilmington, North Carolina, to proceed with its plans to build an apartment complex consisting of three seven-story buildings, each with 250 to 320 apartments, along with 5,000 square feet of amenity space and 350 parking spaces on the buildings' first two levels.

 

Zimmer said in a news release that it is working with the Audubon Center on the peninsula "to consider sustainable elements to the design, including green roofs, pollinator gardens, rain gardens, bioretention ponds, reflection pools, and community meadows as part of the approximately 10 acres of usable green space that will be open to the public."

 

Work has already started on site cleanup. A Zimmer representative said the company plans to start construction next year on the development."

Haven't been to the peninsula in awhile but noticed for sale signs in multiple spots for this property. Don't know if these are old or new.

I would love for someone else to buy this and build on it.
