Infill projects in downtown Fayetteville

[wmr]

I've heard that an exciting proposal is coming up that would take a small part of the south end of the WAC lot and make Spring St a complete street, including the Metro District.  Supposed to be traditional architecture and 5-stories.  I sure hope the city doesn't screw this one up.

I have not seen anything on it yet but I will certainly keep an eye out.  Sounds interesting...IF they don't screw it up...

New townhomes planned for Block Avenue in downtown Fayetteville:  http://www.blockstreettownhomes.com/

I really like the rendering for the potential south WAC parking lot development.  I guess the question is whether to wait, there's a study in progress apparently.  There's also been an offer for the entire parking lot.  Now it sounds like Collier has also put in an offer for the entire parking lot as well.  Although he's already stated he doesn't want it developed, but left in it's current state.  But I don't think the city is planning on leaving it as it is for the long term.  So I'm doubtful they'll take him up on his offer.  But I'm still torn on how to develop this area.  Should we develop it piecemeal in smaller chunks, or do the whole thing as one big development?

I prefer the city do this proposal now, and then take further proprosals at a later date for the remainder.  As much as I'd like to parcel it out to smaller developers over time, someone needs to build a parking structure there at some point.  I really like the current proposal.

I agree, I also like the proposal for the south end.  I guess my concern is what if it scares off a developer who had plans for the whole lot and bigger development.  But yes, another parking structure will need to be included at some point.

So the SW corner of North St and Leverett has been cleared over the past two days.  I guess this could be considered on the edge of "downtown".  Anybody know what might be going there?

More rentals, just higher density and better product.

That needs to happen all of the east side of Leverett from the University to North.

Block St Townhomes are underway, and also a nice little trad infill project is near completion on Spring St.

Looks like the Lumiere Theatre is finally moving through planning.  This will be the multi-story replacement of the current Dickson Street Theater building between DicksonSt Liq' and Puritan Brews.  No pictures to share yet.

[wmr]

More about The Lumiere, and a picture.

This is exactly what Fayetteville needs and has needed for 20 years!  I just hope that parking does not hurt business.

Being honest I thought that theater project would never go through.  Still skeptical but if it happens it'll be a great addition to the street.

They own the building, have spent considerable money on full drawings from Marlon Blackwell. Though that doesn't mean it is 100% done, knowing the developers and use, I'd say it is a sure bet.
