FARGO – Essentia Health is embarking on an $80 million construction initiative highlighted by a new wing on its hospital.

The new, four-story wing will extend to the south and open with 28 new beds in January 2015 at its center at 3000 32nd Ave. S. Plans allow for the quick addition of another 28 beds when needed.

River has started it's rise. Flood predictions anyone? I say 38.5 feet.

IronRanger · #**2724** Posted **Apr 21, 2013, 1:39 PM**

16.1 feet and rising as of this morning. I'll throw out 39.12 feet.

Any word on when Fargo can expect a significant tower (20+ stories) is going to be constructed in the downtown area? I would figure with the "boom" the city is experiencing, that something like this is inevidable.

The kilbourne group is working with SOM out of Chicago to design a tower on the us bank block downtown. I've seen some renderings of the building and they keep bouncing between 20 and 40 storeys yet they think it will top out at around 25 floors. The floor heights, they said, would be higher than most buildings. So even though it would only be seven storeys taller than the Radisson it would be much taller. It will probably end up being taller than the Capitol building in Bismarck. They're talking with many tenants to fill spaces like hotels, offices, and even a culinary institute that overlooks the plaza. Apartments condos retail space fill out the rest with the Dakota club covering the top two floors. An observation deck would be included there

Thanks. Any idea how far along the proposal is, and when it would be approved? Potential construction dates? Are my over-eagre questions annoying your yet?

TallBob · #**2728** Posted **Apr 27, 2013, 4:29 AM**

Good on, Fargo! Been there a couple of times 25-30 stories would really stand out!

F-Misthebest · #**2729** Posted **Apr 28, 2013, 10:05 PM**

Shinook, according to the Kilbourne Group, they would like to see construction start next year, but they are also wanting to take time to ensure their design is the best possible fit for the site and for Fargo.

Shinook · #**2730** Posted **May 2, 2013, 3:25 PM**

Cool, thx for the update!

Buzter123 · #**2731** Posted **May 4, 2013, 9:52 PM**

Sounds good FM. Do you have any links to design ideas or additional info?

F-Misthebest · #**2732** Posted **May 6, 2013, 12:25 AM**

The only way i was able to see the renderings was from a presentation from the kilbourne group. I have no idea if there are any links on the internet to view the models. sorry

I'm wondering if someone can help me out. I dined at an Italian American Restaurant in downtown Fargo in 2011, in an older historic looking building. I'm hoping to be back in the Fargo area in the near future and would like to dine at that restaurant again. Does anyone know the name of that restaurant, if it's still open?

Thanks!

It was probably Isabella's. I don't think it's still in business.

IronRanger · #**2735** Posted **May 11, 2013, 2:24 PM**

FYI - I believe this restaurant had a name change to Stella's and is now the Taste of Italy. I haven't heard much about the restaurant though so I have no recommendation if you should try it.

F-Misthebest · #**2736** Posted **May 11, 2013, 3:01 PM**

IronRanger, yes you are right. It changed names two more times. As the Taste of Italy, it moved across the street to the second floor of the Avalon Building where it then later closed after about a year in business. The Beefsteak Club is now in the former location where Isabella's used to be. It's a higher end restaurant with really good food.

Shinook · #**2737** Posted **May 11, 2013, 3:46 PM**

Yes, it was Isabella's as I checked out photographs of the old restaurant. Too bad it's gone, as it was a good place. Guess I'll just have to try a new restaurant!

Thanks guys.

Noodles & Co is planned to open a new location on 32nd Avenue. It will be in the new strip mall by Subway. (Approx 26th st)

Buford69james · #**2739** Posted **Jun 11, 2013, 8:03 PM**

People's Organic, an organic restaurant, has filed for a building permit on 45th Avenue in the Urban Plains development. Should be interesting to see how a restaurant like this does in Fargo, may be the next wave (like the burrito, sushi, and hamburger waves we've most recently been engulfed by) if it does well.

Cambria Suites and Convention Center is breaking ground at the northwest intersection of 9th St. and I-94 in West Fargo June 28th. An aloft hotel is going to built across the street from Cambria shortly after. Cambria is set to open late summer of 2014 and aloft in the fall of 2014.
