More rumblings/news about Iberville. Seems a little grandiose to think that major retail chains are dying to move in. I would prefer an idea that redeveloped (or just removed) the housing, and allowed some room for creativity of the market, not planning by committee.

Yeah, it does seem a little surreal. And how will this work with/compete with the proposed development around the Power Plant, which also envisions big-box stores and national chains? Can the downtown market absorb both projects?
In other news, the Rice Mill Lofts in the Bywater seems to be well into construction. I think they've scaled back from the ambitious design shown on Wayne Troyer's website, though.
