Anybody have a guess when this is going to break ground?

[markhollin]

Lot is all scraped clean now.

There is now a construction trailer on site.  Things moving forward.

This will be a beauty, especially from the street. My colorized and enhanced card...

 

An example of some architectural details used in their River South Units in Columbus Ohio...note the uplighting and sconces.

Crap I posted on wrong thread. I am hearing four buildings. One 10, 1 four and 2 over 6 is what I will say. Constructions is looming and probably by the end of the month or so.

Not a huge project height wise, but the design should more than make up for that if it sticks. I love it.

4 buildings? Are they still thinking 600 total apartments?

[markhollin]

Preliminary work underway.  Core drilling, etc.

Looking east from 3rd Ave. South 1/2 block south of Elm St:

 

Signs going up around the large site.  Much of this had been free parking for 3rd & Lindsley Nightclub.  No more.    Looking north from Ash St., 1/2 block west of 2nd Ave. South:

[smeagolsfree]

Three buildings. Two Seven stories on the eastern block and a ten story on the western block. The ten story will not happen for several years.

[markhollin]

Work has begun on the first two 7 story apartment buildings.  As mentioned previously, the 10 story building will come later). No renderings for these first two yet. A 2020 completion date is scheduled for these first two structures.

The 723 Second Ave. South building will have 105 units, cover 128,800 sq. ft. and have 66 parking spaces. It will sit at the NW corner of the T-intersection of Second and Ash Street.

The 700 Third Ave South building will feature 161 units, 242,600 square feet, 129 parking spaces, and a first floor of retail/office space siting on the NE corner of 3rd Ave. South and Ash Streets .

Civil Site Design Group to handle land-planning efforts. LC will serve as the general contractor.

The Metro documents list the two seven-story buildings as “BLDG C” and “BLDG D,” suggesting the land on the west side of Third could offer two structures (i.e., “BLDG A” and “BLDG B”).

So the first two 7 story apartment buildings total 266 units. Does that mean the 10 story one will be 334 units to get to the 600+ total units that is in the thread title?

The article mentions they have no plans to release a site plan or renderings? Are they allowed to hide these from the public? I assume they showed them to Metro for the approval meetings.

Since there apparently is going to be a building A and B, along with these two (C and D), that 334 will most likely be divided in two somehow.

I'm kind of fascinated by that parking ratio. 195 parking spaces for 266 apartments, right? That's awesome. Did this become common when I wasn't paying attention? Seems like every single development used to include at least 1-2 spots per residence, even when it wasn't required (in the downtown code area).

The building at 3rd and Elm  I think will have retail.

[markhollin]

Chad Thompson of LifeStyle Communities says that "a couple hundred" apartment homes would be built during the first phase of construction, in a building that will include a pool, on-site restaurant and a fitness facility.

Okay but where are the renderings??

[smeagolsfree]

They, being LC are being very slow in releasing renderings for this project.

[markhollin]

Moving dirt and defoliating.

Are there any renderings yet for the 6-7 story buildings? Parking is not below ground?

It was the same way with their Germantown project as well.  We had no idea what it was gonna look like until weeks (months?) after construction actually began.

[markhollin]

Hope to have renderings to post of Phase I tomorrow.
