17th & Grand (7 stories, 160,300 sq. ft.  office space) has broken ground. Should be complete around Aug. 2022. A $56 million construction loan has been secured thru First Bank.  Apparently they already have 20% of the space committed.

I'd like to see an option that not only takes into account the triangular shape of the property but also angles as it goes upwards at the West End/Broadway split.  The angle can either go away from the point of the triangle or towards it.  If it goes towards it that would mean the tallest point would be at the point of the triangle.   A building that crosses over 17th would also be nice.

These are the two towers that make up the Bahrain World Trade Center.  I split them to show what one could look like on the property.

Whatever the choice, hoping it's majestic and taller than Broadwest.   A 450ft. or more tower creates a link of sorts to the CBD and downtown.

Hastings Architects has some interesting renderings of a couple of structures to be part of The Finery development along Gray Street in WEHO. There is this nice aerial view...

 

Then there are pictures of the Wroughtwright Apartments which look interesting...

 

And some views of the T3 Building..

Some nice development that fits this neighborhood character well.

Interesting in that there were thoughts the businesses would be leaving to make way for a redevelopment of the site.

The Reed site doesn’t include those buildings, just the parking lots behind them. The only building fronting church that the site includes is the old Jim Reed show room.

I hope that little stretch sticks around.  I like skyscrapers as much as the next guy, but from the perspective of someone at ground level walking these older buildings provide a much more fulfilling pedestrian experience than never-ending blocks of V.I.P.  glass towers.

I had heard from a couple of people that the owners were looking to close those bars and focus on their Louisville ventures. This is very welcome news.

I would be heartbroken if they decided to close those bars, spent many a weekend in my early 20s  there. Pre-COVID, I’d still go occasionally, but the crowd had become more touristy than in the past.

I heard similar things, including that their lease was not being renewed. Things change.

^^That’s always been my least favorite color of brick.  Always looks so bland.

Agreed. And they didn’t even use brick on the front side of the back row of units and it looks even worse. These are being marketed as short term rentals, so they cut every corner they could.

But that NES pole in front adds just  a little touch of class.

You should know that  as a result of the way you started that sentence, in my head I read that in a pirate voice, and it was enjoyable.
