I’ll take twenty of these low-rise buildings on surface lots all throughout uptown, please, high-rises be damned.  Thank you. 

Could not agree more. I have always envied cities with massive stretches of mid-rise developments, they look so good and tend to be great walkable neighborhoods. Minneapolis has a great example of this in its warehouse district. Camden across the river from Boston has parts like this too. It looks fantastic and complements the taller buildings of the skylines very well.

Agree with you there in regards to Minneapolis; A lot of adaptive reuse in that area as well.

Pearl / Innovation District - making progress with building demolition and clearing the slate for Phase I Construction.  Wouldn’t be surprised to see foundation work being done for Phase I buildings by the late winter/early spring.

add Crystal City VA to the list. from a Distance we all love Charlottes skyline, but it is really cool how dense CCity feels when walking around it. Right across from DCA and of course the Metro serves to make cars unneeded.

Agreed, the DC area is full of satellite cities and urban pockets with pleasant low and mid rise developments. Arlington is home to many of them.

[KJHburg]

The East Morehead corridor rising 3 high rise residential towers.  When someone says Charlotte is not dense enough I will drive by these highrises that are literally just feet apart.    From Wed. 

Love the Addison always have a high rise apartment tower converted to office space.   Wed afternoon.

Word from the Dilworth neighborhood discussion boards is that all the many (MANY!) workers and employees of the construction groups have taken the streets from Lexington to Templeton, Myrtle, and elsewhere for daytime parking. This upsets those residents who have used on street parking as their own. Rubbish collection is more difficult and similar complaints.

I bet many of them work at buildings walkable from Blue Line stops. The question is how to encourage its use now. They'll find plenty of parking at a suburban station.

The two large construction project at the intersection of Morehead and Euclid have a host of construction workers every day and no provision for parking for them but on street in the neighborhood; not office workers. When the buildings are completed the surge will disappear but that is a long time from today.

CBJ reports that Campbells Nursery is done in about a week. Certainly not a surprise here. They say they are "looking for other sites" but... sure....

this already has some interest from a high rise apartment developer if I remember correctly.

Abacus Capital.

129'

145-ish units I think.  Retail facing McDonald and Cleveland.

Two blocks up from Campbells, H&H Automotive has officially relocated to Wilkinson Blvd. A garage and their semi-scrap yard in the back is not the best use for a rapidly developing corridor like South Blvd but man I'll miss those guys. Living walking distance from dropping off your car is such a nice perk, and everyone who worked there was incredible. They helped me out of a few emergencies, were incredibly knowledgeable, and regularly charged me under what they quoted for a job or didn't perform work that they didn't have to in order to fix the root problem. Who does that? Honest, smart, friendly guys. They also had the Tom Bradbury Dilworth book and some other historical information from their time there in the waiting room (and some of the biggest dogs I've ever seen in my life behind the counter a few years back), felt like a true part of the neighborhood. Please visist them on Wilkinson if it's convenient at all for you. I guess I'm off to CMD now?

Anyway... are the plans for that site known yet? I don't think that's part of the Tyber tower, but with all of the meh buidlings (sorry, Leeper&Wyatt) facing South and the huge gravel pit/abandoned church (?) on the Cleveland & Worthington corner, that whole block could change pretty dramatically if the dominoes start falling after the Tyber development.

They sold the property to Centrum, who also bought the former hotel site behind that parcel.  Centrum is going to do a hybrid with high-rise on South blvd side and stick (~5-story) on the Cleveland side. 

[atlrvr]

There are going to be 2 very tall (30+ story) towers with just a few feet of separation right here on South Blvd.

Centrum will be in the lower 40s from what I understand, not sure how zoning even with height bonus allows, tapering down to townhouse scale along Cleveland

Called H&H on your recommendation, and they can't take any appointments before November 15th, so it appears they're very well discovered and patronized in their new location.

Yep, you will find it "rendered" into my Feb 2022 Ledger article with a ? along with Campbell's Greenhouse, I guess I made CENTRUM too short. 

[atlrvr]

Yes, off-topic, but agree with H&H being very honest/reputable.  Both Joe and Dean there are stand up guys.

These buildings on Morehead are going to make an incredibly massive presence felt. Can’t wait to see it all finished.

I've always thought the usage of Morehead and East, for lawyers/finance/doctor/other rich people's offices, was strange. All those awesome houses on East and similar that are just law offices. 

[KJHburg]

The Morehead corridor is really changing fast.  Look at this boutique office building proposed at 618 E Morehead across from the Sprandrel tall apartment tower.   This is nice looking and perfect floorplate size for accounting and legal firms.  

It is 4 levels of office, 3 of parking and the ground floor.
