I read that in the Observer last night.  That’s amazing!

32 stories would stick out like a sore thumb over there...I like it lol. Tbh, I always felt bad for those highend Garrison condos bc of the location. Isn't this proposed location near the milling factory?

I guess rezoning petitions come first, then you find financing? And we don't think the latter will happen?

That's one way to increase your property value ;-)    They'll end up selling the land to someone else.

We had an apartment developer my firm worked with in Seattle that did this kind of thing sometimes. They'd have us do a feasibility study, then try to sell the land. Then have us go through schematic design, try to sell the land, then have us get city design approval, try to sell the land. Then have us get to 50% CDs, try to sell the land. Get permits, try to sell the land. Complete construction, try to sell the building. Sometimes they'd keep the project but often they were just trying to make money on it and didn't want to deal with actually managing the project or building.

I'm not one to worry much about car traffic in a dense City area, but a tower by the Music Factory feels nary different from one in Ballantyne or the current iteration of the River District; there are no choices for commuting.

Not really in the Music Factory in my opinion. More by Graham and 11 st.

That and the Silver line has a stop planned (granted this is early on) right there at Graham St...

Can someone please show me?   This site next to those big Silos and Train Tracks?

The amenitizied rooftop is my favorite part.

Charlottestories.com is disfavored, but I’ll post this anyway.

Right up against 277 and that factory, that does not seem like a desirable location at all.

Lots of nice train horns thrown in.

Exactly, location of this is the biggest head scratcher to me..there are plenty of empty lots that would have been 10x better than this location.  Rent will be too expensive to be located in a so-so (iffy) area.  Like some have alluded, I don't see this rising anytime soon, if at all, however, if they insist being in that area, I'd prefer this spot:

I know they just want to rezone it, but using Google SketchUp for the rendering is pretty hilarious

Whoops. Read the article much? But this thread title should be changed to "on the edge of 4th Ward".

That's not the craziest location, as long as the silver line happens. Fourth Ward is nice all the way to the freight tracks.

Thats some massive Highway ROW.

It'd have some pretty sweet skyline views though.
