Plaza-Midwood Projects (Central, Commonwealth, The Plaza)

[Owenorange 254]

What is the plan for post office facade of steel beams are on the outside?

 

Seems like the new PM restaurant from the Haberdish folks is getting close. At least they have landscaping on site so seems like it is. I am excited about this one

The old buildings at the back of Central Square will be saved now that the rezoning for the site has been approved.

Everyone always talks about Daniel Levine and how he is holding so much land hostage in the North Tryon area, but he also is doing the same here in Plaza. Its a shame that he is letting so many lots and buildings just sit empty or underused off of Commonwealth and the Plaza. These lots if developed the right way could really give plaza the more urban feel. Anyone have any idea what he is waiting on?

Which properties does Levine own in Plaza?

Levine's land in PM is highlighted in yellow, altogether equalling over 5.4 acres. Most of this land is relatively underdeveloped. I believe that the lot at the southern corner of The Plaza and Commonwealth Ave, which is nearly a full acre, currently sits empty.

Does anyone know what they are doing in the median at the Plaza/Parkwood intersection? I am disappointed they tore down the historic plaza midwood sign. A bunch of crepe myrtles were cut down too

It is part of the overall street and pedestrian improvements. I don't have specifics, but like the rest of the project on The Plaza, I'll defer any judgement until it is completed. That intersection specifically is really bad for cars and people.

Saved on Google Maps, for now. 

I can't tell from your picture, but did they demolish it, or perhaps just disassemble it so that it can be put back together elsewhere?

It looks like the rubble is just cinder block. I hope you are right and they plan to reassemble it. It makes for a nice entrance to the neighborhood

As for the sign, the neighborhood association sent out a poll a few months ago to vote for the new sign.   I remember wondering why they wouldn't just reassemble the old one so that the two signs matched.   I haven't seen the poll results but I think it will be something different.

Looks like marble slab creamery is taking over Nova's bakery. Slightly disappointed as its a major chain, would have been nice to have something local.

From what I understand the person who will own this location lives in the neighborhood.

That is true, but it's still a massive chain of around 400 stores.

Even more important to go to Two Scoops from now on.

I really want to support our local ice cream stores (and black owned) but unfortunately none of them have good ice cream! I miss Va Da Vie. Their gelato brought memories back from Italy

You don't think Two Scoops has good ice cream? I could eat my weight in their creations! Far better than the over-priced over-hyped Jeni's.

Ya'll should be excited about this one, Emmy's is a killer restaurant with national recognition. 

[midwoodhoodie 47]

Anybody know what the deal is with the place taking over for Pour? I saw the Tilted Kilt sign and looked it up online. Not a ton of info about when it's going to open or if the concept (self serve taps) is going to change...

Not sure if there is a better thread for this, but does anyone know what is being built in the recently fenced off outparcel at Eastway Crossing between the QT and McDonalds?
