adr Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Quote 2) If they want to build a tunnel, doesn't that pretty much confirm this will mostly be an office tower? Commerce Towers has tunnels, so there is a precedent for residential with tunnel access. New build residential tunnel access on the other hand... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Tunnel connected residential should go well, but it is more likely that a tunnel connection means office building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 The tunnels are only good for worker bees since none of the businesses stay open after 5:00, and access to the office towers is restricted after hours and weekends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will likely be resolution by Q4 this year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but Skanska has deeper pockets. Also a tight parking contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, This would be nice. But, frankly I am starting to think that downtown has reached "saturation" on hotels at this time. Five years ago downtown had, what 5 hotels? Since then, We have certainly more than doubled the beds and maybe close to tripled? I don't know anything about the lodging industry but I would think that folks will hold off building more hotels until the current stock of newly opened and under-construction properties get absorbed.

Well according to the April article, half of the block with be a parking garage with retail " The Linbeck entity said it is in the initial phase of developing its site, which will include a retail and parking structure on the southern half of the block. The city has approved its foundation permit.

amashgo Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Perhaps I should have gone with woof in response to the garage post. I'm sure it'll be hideous. I will say though, I would love a chic-fil-a over here. Barnabys is horribly expensive, Fusion Taco sucks and is expensive, Hearsay & Batanga are also expensive. I'm tired of eating at Market Square Bar & Grill. Walking to the garage to drive somewhere is a pain. There needs to be more options down here :/ Especially cause summer is hot AF and that kills any motivation to walk to the tunnels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Chik-fil-a! One that is open on Saturday too. Or at least for dinner... Though I would hate the whole block to just be a chick-fil-a with a drive through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a full block with a CFA drive though and then put a second level of retail and then parking and then they can top it off with whatever kind of building they want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hadn't occurred to me - it would be pretty awesome. The building could even overhang over the parking lot and drive through area 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
