Any chance this has to do with the forthcoming project on the Cumulus site? If a 42 story building is planned and approved there, I’m sure Congress Group might be holding back until that is known. Maybe if they work together, this might go back to the original plan.

I know most prefer this new rendition to the original.  I'm one who prefers the original...because of the design and height.  Fingers crossed that the deferral leads to good news for either of the proposals.  Onward and upward!

We know things are busy when this development has dropped to Page 4!

This development is slated for tonight MPC agenda. Item 17. Staff recommendation coming into the meeting is Approve with Conditions or Defer without All Conditions.

Gonna have this on in the background while doing other things tonight. I imagine this meeting is gonna be another long one.

Keep us posted, I just don’t have the energy to watch all this anymore. Day starts at 6 am and I still end up doing crap at 10 at night……Trying to cut back so I will be I nicer person..Just been over doing it for the last 8 months.

Yes, I agree with you:  The first iteration of this project was better.  But I'm still hoping these guys get together with the Cumulus guys and coordinate their designs so that superficially they appear to be a random collection of towers but when viewed from City Lights they form a hand giving the middle finger.

Overall Height Modification was approved 6-2. I would not be surprised if some members of City Lights filed a lawsuit against this. The opposing lawyer was nitpicking on all sorts of procedural issues.

Great news!  Thanks for the update.  In this case, nitpicking = lousing, I mean, losing.

Imagine being a goober at city lights who has lived there two years max and thinking you own everything in southern downtown.

Pretty much everyone that spoke was from New York or LA. One person specifically said that they bought there to be close to downtown, but not in downtown.

How dense does one have to be to purchase a unit in a new multi-story highrise and think 'they'll never build multi-story highrises all the way out here!'

That’s sort of a dichotomy considering they are in downtown or what Metro considers living in downtown, so you would think being from those two cities they would know the difference. I know one of the outspoken residents of CL is from Boston. If they want those views and want to be close to downtown but not in downtown, then it seems they need to be somewhere else to fit that definition, because CL nor anywhere inside the loop fits the criteria they are wanting.

From the info Taylor was feeding me the CL residents hired a Real estate/zoning lawyer to try to sink this at the meeting using various tactics like not allowing the Planning Commission to be allowed to question the developers. Strange indeed.

Four CL residents hired a lawyer. The lawyer submitted a brief ahead of time, and was nitpicking on all kinds of procedural issues during deliberation.

As per usual, the lawyers will make out fine, win or lose. The unhappier CL residents might wanna consider a move to Cool Springs, or better yet - somewhere far, far away. I'm so very tired of NIMBYism...and the mindset behind it. It's everywhere....

If most of them are from New York City or Los Angeles as someone who was there stated, are they goobers? Tell us why or why not?

I’m mainly confused about the City Lights thing because it doesn’t even seem to me like a particularly nice building. I understand the condos are pretty expensive but we’re not talking $5-$10m here. I don’t understand why a mid range condo building can carry so much gravitas.

So what are the next steps for this development? Do they need city council approval, has CL filed a lawsuit, or are they full steam ahead?

No lawsuit at this time. They still need to purchase the land and file for permits, etc. Also likely to be a little bit of time because of the realignment of Lea being placed on city property.

Page 4? Really?? Wow! With all the great news coming out about Church Street, I saw this and can't wait to see the skyline expand on both sides of the core! The video in the link below is from the Design Architect's (Cube 3) linkedin.

Thanks for sharing! This looks awesome. I can only imagine that this will spur more development on that side of town, as there is a ton of space to grow in the area.

There is a ton of space, but the community plan and the downtown code will most likely need to be amended for it to thrive. We have had a fair amount of that discussion this thread if you have the time to look back through some of the pages. If they aren’t updated, the development path has a few more road blocks.
