BFG posted a few progress pictures in the Norfolk Pictures thread about a month ago: Which thread is it currently posted in? I'll transfer those posts in here and make a progress thread. What street is that located on? I don't recall seeing it in my travels. NVM. Just saw you said it was in the pictures thread. Don't know why we never made a thread for this.

Helium3 20 Report post Posted March 16, 2018 123 W Virginia Beach Blvd, right next to the building with the submarine mural and across the street from the Harrison Opera house. It's replacing an old and vacant warehouse. The Pilot first reported on it about two years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BFG 636 Report post Posted March 16, 2018 I remember the controversy behind this building, and the way it was rushed through the planning committee. I hope the final product looks less mundane for an arts district. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Le Corbusier's architecture is more military barracks than anything beautiful, organic, let alone art. I do not have very high hopes. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
