Not only will it free up those 3.5 city-owned acres for development, but would probably mean the end of all those tacky bail bonds joints that surround that neighborhood.  Could be the next hotspot for development--meaning that pretty much every side of downtown will have major scenery changes from the Gulch to the Baptist HQ land, to Capitol View, to Sulpher Dell, to Germantown, to Riverfront, to Rolling Mill Hill, to SoBro.  Just amazing the changes in these past 10---and especially past 5---years.  : )

Well it will not be in Germantown, so I don't think the Germantwon residents will really care. I think it's on down closer to Fisk, not for sure, but I think that is called the Fisk Osage area.

You are right---I was misreading the info.   I corrected my post.  : )

As far as the 2 tower, hotel project that was posted on here last week.....I have heard from two sources and one being the horses mouth that the design was a couple of years old. So don't hold your breath for that concept or design. I will bet it will be something totally different.

Can you please refresh my memory? So much going on. I don't remember which two tower hotel development you are talking about.

Police HQ moving to Jefferson St next to Knock Out w@NGZ, this is an excellent proposal which will help clean up that side of Jefferson, which IMO would lag behind the development of Jefferson St inside the loop.

That's the one. Lol, I know it's hard to keep up with everything. I think I probably do a decent job knowing 95% of them, but I still get confused.

Met the new buyer of 1009 Monroe yesterday.  Complete gutting and renovation to take place soon, will be a single family home again after being somewhat neglected and abused as a boarding house and squatter haven for many years.  She let us take a look inside - it is really a special property.  115 years old!  She said that she beat out a buyer that had plans to make it a halfway house, thank god.

She did end up saving it.  It would have been renovated for compliance as a transition house, but eventually it would have become further dilapidated down the line and bulldozed, either before or after someone would have set in on fire.  I'm sure that that house now would hug her if it could.

Amphitheater to be ready by the 4th of July per man in charge of the stone mason team. I feel our amphitheater will easily be in the top 5 of outdoor venues along with Red Rocks, Hollywood Bowl and Millennium Park in Chicago. Looks like stone mason may have been a little off on opening day. Eric Church July 30th.

Finally some positivity! It's good to hear someone optimistic about the thing instead of lamenting how it doesn't have 28,000 seats.

 

Personally, I think it looks great. I see the thing every day on my commute to work and it seems to be shaping up rather nicely. Glad to know we have an opening date!

Not really "lamenting" about it, but I do have deep concerns about the concourse of traffic, both rubber and foot, because of where it is, far more so than with the Ballpark.  They're just going to have to break down and do some kind of thing.  As I expect it be an "ace" winner, that virtue by itself means that Metro Traffic and Parks and Rec will need to shuffle some cards (and I don't mean tarot cards).

There are literally thousands of parking spots just 1/3 mile away on the other side of the river.  People are going  to have to learn to walk a little bit.  It's all part of being a walkable city, isn't it?

I think that should be said for any where to have to walk in DT.  Just cut out the buses ─ they show up when they feel like it anyway, and you usually can hump it on foot and beat the bus, in most cases.

That's a great summary piece by William at the Post on the hotel boom around the MCC. Anxiously awaiting the formal announcements by some of these large projects in the upcoming weeks.

I hope you are right but I sure don't see it at this point.

Not sure I've seen anyone lamenting "28,000"...but 10k+ would have been nice.

I don't recall if this piece from the Bizjournal was posted about the Tribute Hotel, going into the Noel Building.  Claims to be 4-Star and shows some pics of decor. Looks very nice.

And one full floor in the City Center gets leased fast.  Office in the CBD and midtown is TIGHT!
