I see one southwest facing corner unit is up for sale and has been for some time. Price seems to keep dropping - I'm guessing because their skyline view will be directly affected by the project. |

An update in the Free Press today. Some preliminary work has begun while they await the city's approval of a 20 year tax freeze.

This is very exciting, and will truly act as a catalyst for the area.
|
Phase 2 and 3 will make nice parking lots for phase 1.
|
At this point, even if phase two and three are parking lots - huge win.
|
I think with the two behind this project, we will see results, and completion.

Have you not seen what these two have done for the Exchange?

LOL, I would be the first to call them out if they did not have a solid track record.

And yeah as recluse said, these guys are great. People that actually care about the area... willing to maybe make a lower profit to do a great project that benefits the city and its citizens. |
^ That group certainly has a solid record of moving ahead with projects at sites that could otherwise never seem to find traction... most notably the Avenue Building, and also the Galpern Building.

I hope they don't stop. There are plenty of sites which could be redeveloped.

Mentioned this in the Exchange District thread, but lots of the boarding on windows is coming down today.

galpern looks amazing with the façade washed off, the black window trim and some new landscaping already put in along rorie. looks very "big city". also on my stroll today around 1pm, the exchange, main street and especially portage were humming with pedestrian activity of all walks of life. was great to see! if that could be sustained, it would be quite telling.

Any pics? I am so envious of Alston, as I have dreamed of doing what he does.
