A few additions from
Wednesday, June 20, 2007.
New street signage on the riverfront.
Given healthy interest, the Watermark is scheduled to break ground at the end of June. However, I haven't heard the lastest in terms of comitted purchase agreements.
The Greektown Casino expansion will include a section that will be built OVER the westbound lanes of Lafayette Avenue.
I didn't think I'd really like the skywalk, but it's kinda cool how it sorta looks to just disappear into the buildings on the left side of the photo. Plus, it doesn't obstruct any views, and you can't see it until after you pass the People Mover track.
It's not an illusion. It appears to slant slightly downward toward the left.
The Old Ste. Mary's School House is the building on the right that will be connected to the garage via the skywalk.
Next to the school house is the site of the old Lavdas Building. A structure will be built here to connect to the current casino facility seen on the right.
Looking north down St. Antoine. The school house is on the left.
Southbound St. Antoine.
Ren Cen wanted some attention as always.
The current height of the hotel...zero...not counting the actual floor.
The Griswold site still a flatty.
The site of the garage at the South University Village project has finally broken ground. For a "village", it sure does look like the garage is going to take up the majority of the land. I doubt it, but hopefully there will be retail space on the ground level facing Forest Street.
Nothing new here...darn it.
I think this is pretty close to the angle shown in the rendering for the South University Village.
See the Greektown Garage?
