I thought plans were to begin construction on the northern side of the lot.

Yeah, I thought Crescent Apartments were going on the north side.  Wonder what they're doing down there...

[smileguy]

Just like FLHeat said, pushing around dirt.

[Jernigan]

Crescent breaking ground before end of year. Also, 2-3 story town homes as part of project? First time I've seen that - I don't think it was in previous renderings?

Wood frame?

[jack]

Yes, it is wood frame.

I wonder if the "brownstones" mentioned are like the ones on Michigan. I would love to see it on both sides of the road! It would also appeal to the urban community.

I pictured Post Parkside when I read it

[XpressEnterprise]

If I read it correctly: The midrise community will feature studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans as well as two-story brownstone-style townhouses. It seems it may be an addition? 

[smileguy]

From my memory, there are units on the north side of the development facing the street that are 2-story and open to the sidewalk instead of opening to internal corridors... that's probably what they're calling the brownstones.

Yep. And yes...just like Post Parkside has.

[Universe_Explorer]

And The Grande.  Nice as larger, 2-floor living spaces in a condo bldg - but hardly a Brownstone.  I'd love for someone to line a street or block downtown with legitimate brownstone-style townhouses

[XpressEnterprise]

Ahh, I got my hopes up. @Universe_Explore yes that would be awesome if they could build a block or so by the rail stations for a more urban feel.

Maybe if the South Mills ones fill up quick someone can build more downtown. I would like to see a more brownstone looking design...but that's not so easy to pull of in new construction. I think it would be really cool to see a bunch in an area in Creative Village to help bridge to the existing community.

I hope that South Mills project happens.  I has assumed that the renderings were just done to market the property to some potential developer.  I did not expect it to be an actual project.  Have they applied for any actual construction permits?

 No permits yet...that I have seen.

any updates on this project?  dirt moving yet?

[FLheat]

Yes, they completely leveled the dirt and there's a path running N/S through the center.  

[tm68]

terriftic to hear there's activity on the site.  long long time coming

[tm68]

Even though the scale of this project is somewhat underwhelming, I truly think this project will have more impact on downtown than any other development currently on the boards, venues (and sun rail) aside.

It's transformational to north orange, especially when phase two is underway, and activates an important block in the heart of the city.

[RedStar25]

Lots of site work is under way. 

[Jernigan]

Groundbreaking ceremony is Thursday at 4

This looks like a slightly updated rendering:

That looks better than anything I've seen so far.^
