Zoning change applied for for the empty lot next to the new Hampton Inn on Columbia.   Request is to change use from medical office to another hotel.   6-story Towneplace Suites by Marriott.  Didn't see that coming.

Didn't know that hadn't been announced before. Guys working on it came in 4-5 weeks ago telling me about that and a small piece of retail they would have there.

[Jernigan]

Go on about this retail...

Told me the city wanted retail in it and they had like 200 sqft of space they would probably carve out for retail which is why they came to us since few people can take something so small.

Guess we're talking about this site...

Yeah, I think its the other way around. U break I fix... I'm not quite sure how well they'd do if they try to charge you, break your device, and hand it back to you and say "u fix it"

All true, but then again Jernigan may well have just been engaging in a bit of facetiousness by writing it backwards.

I was quoting the article

Tenants for the strip being developed at 1731 S Orange

Oh, @UngaBungalow ...

I've called out the OBJ for less in this thread lol.

Isn't that where Arby's is?

[JFW657]

I've always felt that area would be a great location for an Arby's.

Wonder why they waited so long.

Yeah, they linked to the map without wondering what was there. 

[codypet]

They've been renovating Arby's all over the country.  I was wondering when that one was getting an update!

Yeah...I even commented in the article saying there was one there...and then they JUST tweeted about it...in which I commented there is one already there.

Good 'ol Taco Tico.

Annexation and future land use changes in store for 208 E Pineloch - adjacent to the new Southgate development and across from the Publix plaza at SouthSide.   Low office use. 

That lot on the corner of Delaney and Pineloch (was a gas station andhas been fenced off for a while) now has a construction financing sign up and it looks to be come a dentist office.

Nothing major in either of these but will clean up the look of that area.

haha you're right to call me out. It's what I get for writing something from the emergency room. I edited the original post though. Apologies!

[codypet]

Ah yes the former Texaco that became a Shell then moved to the Marathon on Orange and Michigan only to fall victim to the serial arsonist from 2014.   Did they ever find that guy?

[Jernigan]

GrowthSpotter covered the property seeking annexation today.   No plans for redevelopment in the near term, just getting hooked up to sewer.   

It gave an update on Southside Shoppes and the one thing that I hadn't read before is that they are looking to put a free standing Starbucks on the "hard corner" (I imagine that means Pineloch and Orange.)

Wonder if it's safe the say that the one at Orange and Crystal Lake will be closing.

Being that I just bought a place three blocks from that Starbucks, I will be crushed.

[codypet]

Why would you move away from the SODO core?

At $4 a cup, think of all the money you'll save.
