I can't wait to see what those narrow Sobro streets are like once they're walled in by all these mid-to-high rise buildings.  A real transformation of the feel of our city at street level.

It’s still pretty dead over large parts of it, but it’s getting there. I was walking past the Olmsted on 5th last night and I was kind of taken aback about how urban that street is starting to look south of KVB. Lots of developable land, hopefully they keep activating the street level.

Your comment reminded me of the Sobro Plan from a few years ago. In less than a couple of years, that stretch of 5th Ave. South to Lafayette will be lined on both sides by large, street-activating buildings. I'd expect the east side, south of the new Tru Hilton will get another residential building very soon. And now 3rd Ave. South is cranking up. Sobro has already started to pop like the Gulch did a few years ago. Not sure, but I suppose the Division Street Connector has fueled this boom.

It just struck me that the building that stood at 508 Lea Ave is now gone for this project, a club called Kiss. That place was something else, lol.

It makes me so happy having a prevalent building looking down Lafayette other than the storage buildings.

I've tried to see in renderings to no avail; does that corner cupola actually have a function. One rendering appeared to show it as part of an amenities level with pool, etc.

Apparently no function other than to give space for the sign:
