Norfolk Development 2

[PeninsulaKiddo]

It says that there is 22 dedicated parking spaces for this property. After visiting NYC you should know that you can squeeze a tower on just about any sized lot.

For real. On a lot like that you could get a tower the size of The Meridian on it. But you'd have to squeeze the parking garage under it... which would push the height to 24-25ish floors.... The first building is gorgeous architecturally and you're right.. the second is pretty worthless, but the property itself could be a gold mine. Where's the second property in relation to notable landmarks like MacArthur or Granby? J/W

Check out the image on the norfolk development website with all of the tower cranes.

Hope this works.

Thats funny, Those cranes are added to an existing picture. At least it gives you an idea of how it will look in about a year!!!

[urbanvb]

That's a great find.

[vdogg]

So they plan on having only one crane for the Hilton? At least it gives you an idea of how all the towers will be placed in the skyline. From that angle Granby tower should look excellent.

I found this interesting video on the Sentara Norfolk General's new heart center.

I hope it works for you guys, very interesting.

That is one building that I hope I never have to visit. Though, I wouldn't mind going to the top floor to snap some skyline pictures from the waiting areas.

Good find.

Hey guys,

This is on the city's development site. There is Trader Square, old pic of Granby Tower, Old pic of Harbor Heights, the Cruise Terminal, The Rotunda, St. Paul's Place, 388 Boush, and the new TCC Student Center.

The TCC Student Center will be a nice infill project, but is there anymore info about this project? I searched the TCC site with no luck!!!

Man talk about typo's to the max! On the map, they mix up the locations for 388 Boush and Harbor Heights, and then on the pictures, they have the old Granby Tower rendering, an old rendering of Harbor Heights when it was only 11 stories, and they mix up the TCC student center with the Flats at St. Pauls Place. With all these errors, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw Town Center projects listed up here lol. J/k

[rusthebuss]

I wonder if they are still building the student center? I haven't heard too much about it. It does look cool though.

[okinawatyphoon]

The Norfolk Development site is FINALLY updated! lol. Well the pic of the homepage I think is more symbolic of the construction instead of the actual number of cranes....what are all the cranes near the Cruise Ship Terminal? They don't appear to be for Harbor Heights.

[vdogg]

Their 2005 projects guide is missing a few things as well.

It's about time they did some work on that site!! It seemed like they had the same information up there for over a year... I had stopped linking to it because it never changed (even w/ all the development going on DT). I wonder who updates that site. Maybe we can pull a coup and have Vdogg take over daily operations.

Hey guys,

It doesn't look familiar at all but they talk in the past tense as though this has already been built. I've never heard of it. Curious

[willy]

It's still alive!!

Granby's "restaurant row" is spreading to Monticello.

I wish they'd show some renderings as to what the exterior redesign of these structures will look like.

Are they being redesigned? For the Welton, Wright says they installed custom-built windows to replicate the originals. But the company doesn't mention further renovating the exterior. It seems that they think the run-down industrial look is hip.

You mean to tell me they're gonna leave that burnt out piece of crap as is? I can almost see what you're talking about with the 2nd building but the first one has to go, or be renovated in such a manner that it no way resembles its former self. It's an eyesore.

Also, with the city trying to revitalize that very area I would be surprised if they made it past the planning commission without a little exterior renovation in the mix.

It looks like a place where "Fatal Attraction" could have been filmed, or something from a model railroad layout.

These are not new. Well, they are new in that they were built in the last 1-2 years, but they were originally developed as rental apartments behind the new row townhouses on Freemason (at corner of Duke St.) When the market went up so much after construction, owner decided to go condo.

Norfolk Southern marks 175th year with company museum

I wonder how cool this museum will be!
