NoDa (N Davidson St Arts District) Projects

[kermit]

^ That CBJ article mentions a possible hotel in a second phase at Crescent. I think that is a pretty solid idea.

 

Still waiting on a Southend boutique hotel.....

 

(apologies if this was mentioned earlier in the thread)

There's also a strong fear in NoDa that it'll just look like South End in a couple of years. Granted, I think SE is actually making remarkable strides in developing a neighborhood culture, but the image of big corporate superblock apartments is there. 

 

Not sure NoDa is really set up to have the density of South End, which is much closer to uptown and has vastly better road connectivity.  Too much development around the "core" area is going to get messier.  Would hope that the larger developments come up between Brevard and Davidson below Matheson.  Am I correct in remembering the other side of the tracks will be a park/greenway?

Its weird, I find myself counting down to March 14th... I want to see this rezoning passed, immediately so we can see more details fleshed out. 

 

315-350 apartments

For Sale condos

Hotel

Boutique Grocery

Retail

 

Can you imagine for sale condos built basically on top of the light rail, they will sell out in days. 

I'm hoping we get for sale townhomes with street level retail fronting 36th. I wish it could be like a lower scale version of Montague St in my hood. They can put the 6-7 floors of apartments on the back side of the block.

I'm very curious to see how the retail plays out since the grade of 36th and the light rail stop are not the same. It could lend itself to stacked retail, especially if a grocer was in the mix.

I'm just excited about it in general. Its a HUGE site, has a ton of potential.

Hopefully something like that is done.  The alternative would be a parallel sidewalk to the street sidewalk, with a tall retaining wall building against the street as the street grade dropped; putting the building up on a "plinth" of sorts.  That would be unfortunate.

May the large wholesale Rezoning continue, this could be a hell of a project one day. I'm assuming this is just being up zoned to be sold to a developer. But these two parcels have a lot of promise to be a true gateway to Noda.

Bizjournal is all over it:

My worst fear is that this gets turned into some garbage suburban project like Junction did in Southend, just because it was the first one in and there was nothing around it at the time.  Hopefully NoDa holds the line.

Damn I should have posted this before drawing up the stupid map. I really think its an up zone to get more value out of the land for sale.

Construction at:

• Terraces at Steel Gardens (they're looking good, of the 12 units along Spencer, 11 have sold signs)
• Finished Johnston Mills & huge potential at Mecklenburg mills, can't wait to see what they can do along Davidson. 
• Construction around the RR/36th Street crossing. View south shows Yards complex backing up to the rail line
• Some more shots of Mercury NoDa for posterity. 

[UrbanGossip]

Is Johnston occupied / leasing?  Has anyone seen any of the unit interiors?  I may have to be an "interested" tenant and get a tour.

Rezoning Hearing on Crescent Noda is tonight!!!! Can't wait!!!! Hopefully we learn some new details.

[tozmervo]

I'm guessing Crescent NoDa didn't make it to a rezoning vote? I've seen squat on twitter/news about it.

Someone from WCNC said that it passed. 

I though it was just going to be a hearing for it, not a vote.

You're right, vote is April 20. Sounds like it'll have smooth sailing.

[kermit]

On a completely different note:

 

anyone here happen to know what the old pool hall that has been vacant forever used to be? One of my students needs some history of that particular parcel and have not has not had much luck digging it up.

 

Its 3106 N Davidson.

Is NoDa a designated historic district ether local or national?  if so, a structure like this might have a write-up in the application for designation.  That is probably where I would start...

[tozmervo]

Much of NoDa is covered under the national register of historic places, but no recognition under local zoning (an issue which has been internally debated).

[Windsurfer]

I apologized for this being a little off topic. I just have to ask, is it pronounced "No-duh", or " No-dah" ?  I always thought, that since it's an art district "dah" sounded more like "Da-da-ism". I'm sorry if I should've posted this in coffee house, but the authorities on NoDa seem to read this thread.

 

TIA

[tozmervo]

Most people interchange it without problem, but No-Dah is what I hear more commonly.

The brick and Siding are underway at Mercury NoDa back along Mercury Street and the rail line.

AW MAN!!!! wtf is that??? Remember when this was nice looking and not pure crap?

[abttown]

That siding is ugly as hell.  Is the siding only going up on the back side of the development (along the rail line)?  I hope so.

[ah59396]

Jesus that thing is so ugly. Lol, more quality construction in the QC...

The brick looked so nice, I never expected them to throw up Vinyl!
