speaking of this new tower, when can we expect to see a rendering of some sort.  Obviously they know the size and number of floors for it so the architect must have an idea.  Plus you will need that to market it even if it is  tweaked. 

Agree, break out those pics !

The two story brick building had a flat roof until it was redeveloped in the ‘80s. The Manchester building was constructed in the 80s and was the home of the Cherokee Brick Showroom. It has an awesome brick relief of a Native American chief on the South Blvd facade that some moron covered up with dryvit when it was converted to restaurant space in the mid-90s. 

Yes, Cherokee brick used the construction of the building to highlight the variety and beauty of their products, including the chief. Plus a variety of brick styles and colors. Brick is our contribution to the built environment with the clay mined hereabout. Plus pottery, of course.

I have an idea! Incorporate the street level with materials from the older buildings and create some genuinely cool aesthetics street side and then take any modern aspects of the tower above the third floor. It would scale nicely with the streetscape, and would not be overly imposing as just a tower or two growing from the earth. Throw us some street level retail and Bam! Coolest. project. ever.

I wish someone would buy and demolish the drugstore and crappy bar at South and East. Now THAT’s a waste of good real estate!

Camp Northend on the other side of Uptown rezoned to UMUD(O) in the last year or two. So it can be done. The new UDO will set new height parameters.

Rumor has it that the Church tried to hold up the sale and extort parking from the developer. Greedy pricks!

This is very good to know - I’d love for high rise towers to proliferate out of Uptown to areas like Optimist Park and Camp Northend.  I do believe that the new TOD-UC Zonings around Southend Stations will allow for a few more High Rise Buildings (probably Residential) but that isn’t by right, only with those Height Bonuses.

Can we the peasants get an ETA on the renderings?

Someone mentioned that the architecture firm did not have many high rises.

I kinda like this concept from them:

Saw this on Instagram. Kind of gives you an idea of what the area could look like. So surprised to see this type of development right here- but it was bound to happen eventually.

Instead of the rumored twin buildings in two stages, why not just make the 23 proposal 40 stories since there's not a height limit?

Does it cost more to build one 46 story building or two 23 story buildings?

This explains the soil sampling from a few months back.  I hope this building has signature architecture.  The site is too good not to be a little creative and adopting some of the existing SE feel into the building.  

This will be a tight space, parking for Tupelo will be really interesting in the near future.

It comes in handy around 1-2am on the weekends.  I'm cool with it, need more places that stay open for that crowd.

Definitely costs a lot more.  Also - Financing too.  1 - 23 Story Building can be constructed and leased much faster allowing the Developer maximum flexibility to flesh out the market and pause/reset as is needed.  Seems like this cycle is coming to a close.  I just hope they break ground within the next 6 months.  If so, this is much more likely to get built then if the developer breaks ground around Nov/Dec 2020 or later.  Just too much financial market uncertainty by then.  Things are currently slowing down

I'm pretty surprised.  So many ~20 story buildings having momentum so soon is not what I expected this soon.  I wonder if this will ever happen along the BLE....

That and the Rite Aid/Seafood restaurant/asian place will all soon be gobbled up and rebuilt. Recent Zoing changes will help and logical progression from nearby growth. I think the property around there is selling for like 12m an acre.

Eventually it'll happen along the BLE, but you've gotta have a critical mass of apartments first, then with that comes retail/entertainment/restaurant, then finally office towers (that's a very very general way of saying it). It won't be this development cycle for sure, or maybe even the one after that. Wouldn't totally shock me to see people start to gobble up big acreage along the BLE after the next recession though.

if this thread went to 4 pages in less than 24 hours Katie bar the door it will go to 100 before the first shovel is used LOL

I agree whole heartedly.  I would love to see High Rise Construction in the UCity as well but I think it’ll be a better chance of that in the closer in neighborhoods like Optimist Park/villa heights by time of the next economic expansion.
