Regarding the food co-op timeline, two years off is actually a good thing.  They now have time to build their membership base which will help in funding.  With a location announced, they should see an immediate bump in membership and it's now on the radar for those who were unaware of the co-op before.  It's a bit slower process than a big corporation just spitting out a six-figure check to secure the location. 

So here's the announcement on Mlive:

Looks like Tapestry Square has had a bit of a redesign. I like the ground floor look a lot better than the previous rendering above.

I seem to be the only one on this project. Both elevator shafts are completed, some steel is up by one, and a shipment of huge wood beams arrived this morning (the truck got stuck in the snow)

But they don't have a location.  Its like me saying I'm going to open a restaurant there. I have no agreement, nothing signed. I can't, in good faith, say I my restaurant will be there.

Letter Of Intent. Possibly with stipulations regarding member growth over the next couple years, I can't say for sure. Still not a done deal, but money is on the table.

I look at this and think it means an announcement of a building on that property is imminent. I agree, you can’t have a business without a roof over your head (well, at least not a food co-op / grocery store). :)

Is Tapestry Square finalized and approved? Or is everything still conceptual at this point. 

I'm a little confused as to what is finalized vs. what is proposed. Is the co-op going in the Tapestry Square building (that has been rendered) or in the hypothetical building on the corner of Wealthy & Division.

It's my understanding that the building at the corner of Division and Logan is a done deal, the "Jello mold" is not.

Don't want to get anyone to excited, but I drove by and noticed a Pioneer trailer parked at the site. 

 

No fencing or anything, just a trailer that wasn't there a day or two ago.

 

Anyone have anything?

So is "Tapestry Square" dead or is this auxillary and elsewhere on the plot?

Depends on what you mean by Tapestry Square? I thought that was the general name for the entire block development, including the two existing mixed use projects and the townhouses. It's just gone through 8 million iterations.

The last one I saw was 7 stories right on Division

The permit is for the lot on the direct corner of Division and Wealthy. The renderings above were for a building at the corner to the South at Logan and Division (south of the BRT station you can see in the renderings).

So we should see this thing begin to really take shape soon.  I'm very excited for what this could do to this underwhelming corner.
