3rd Ward Midrise Projects

I could do without the Jetson's interior design.

I really like the interior!

[AuLukey]

I agree ^^^

 

Sorta retro, sorta modern.  It was relatively small compared to most Mellow Mushrooms I've been to in the past, but still unique.  Has a great view of the park (sans barricades) and the staff is friendly (albeit still on a learning curve with the menu.)  They weren't too busy on a saturday night before a huge football game, but maybe that's to be expected.  I have a feeling they'll do just fine.

Brick work is under way at Childress Kline.  It looks about a floor away from topping out.

The brick work is pretty nice detail actually up close.

Some of those HAVE to be retail, they just HAVE to be. At least it looks nice, I suppose.

I'll get a better shot this weekend. But I agree, the brick is pretty well detailed.

[CLTProductions]

Looks great, and I do agree some of those have to be retail. I wonder why that theyre still so quiet on the project, given its progress.

I ran by today but somehow am already so used to its presence that I forgot to look closely to notice the brick.    Topping out is a big deal.

Coincidentally, it's exactly a year since all the PR articles on it.  I looked it up to see the estimated completion, which is apparently this summer (18 months).

[CLTProductions]

So it looks like the building is topped out, can anyone confirm that it is?? I didn't realize it was going to be so much shorter than the Catalyst, looks kinda weird.

[Urbanity]

Rode past it on Sunday and it appeared to be topped out.   I also got to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE the density it brought there.

Yeah I knew it was going to be a good 10 or so stories shorter. It would look weirder if it were too close to the same height IMO, since the style is pretty different. 

[HopHead]

The Catalyst is 27 stories I believe? This apartment tower is 21 or 22 stories. I agree, having them around the same would have just looked weird. Glad they are not the same height. 

[Urbanity]

^Having seen this in person I think the building already gives off a sense of massive going by length (not height) and am actually thrilled with it's height particularly since it is next to the park.  I think over the current height might have overwhelmed the park a bit (again, considering the sense of length/width of building)

[CLTProductions]

Yeah looking at it again it does look great. Just a wonderful addition to the area....now if we can just get rid of all those other parking lots

These are from today.

Yeah. 6 stories if I remember correctly

[Guest]

The approved plans for Woodfield at Graham are up on the planning site, but I cannot download it for whatever reason, if someone else could try.

[CLTProductions]

Is it odd that Childress-Klien is still this quiet on the project???

extremely, even their approved plans call it "South Mint Apartments" and I really doubt that is the final name of them...

What do you think the hold up could be? Internal issues? When is it supposed to start leasing out? I can't remember

Childress Klein is commercial real estate company.  The lack of branding says to me they plan to develop it, and then sell it to a REIT or apartment company without any branding baggage.  I still think of it as Circle SouthEnd, even though Post owns it.  So this way they don't cloud the marketplace with competing or alternate branding information until they can get it sold.

That makes sense, but wouldn't they release some kind of press release or specs (specific building info, 8billion sq feet of retail, etc) to interest a potential buyer in the first place? Or is that all done behind the scenes?
