Sanjorade Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Looks like part of these apartments will be flanked by Leeland and Bell. Hopefully this means that this is the start of developing all those empty lots on Leeland. I believe the one further east is for sale by the catholic church. The empty part of the lot in which Brother's Taco's sits on is owned by a Best Western franchisor. I was told they don't have any immediate plans to develop, but maybe this will catalyze things. I don't think a hotel makes sense for that lot. What would y'all recommend go there? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I've been seeing workers all over the site, but it looks like mostly work on the inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedistrict84 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 They chopped down all of the trees around the property. There were a few relatively mature trees on both the Polk and Emancipation sides of the property. Since they aren’t currently doing work in the areas where the trees were taken out, it’s unclear why it was done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I wonder if they got permits. If not, the city needs to fine the crap out of them. I don't care how good the project is, developers need to stop taking out mature street trees. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockwood/Harrisburg is 1.7 miles from McKinney/Emancipation. sure you can't walk across the street and have your pharmacy, but that's probably closer than most people are to their pharmacy.

cspwal Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 East downtown is supposed be a downtown neighborhood, but the East side is still really lacking in pharmacies. If you look at this map, each ring is a 1/2 mile radius from a pharmacy (CVS, Walgreens, Kroger Pharmacy, HEB pharmacy, Randalls pharmacy). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but their fridges being broken a few weeks ago and still housing liquids still in them was more offensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cspwal Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Looking at the brochure again, they also didn't say how many apartments are going in to the apartment buildings, which would be a built in market for any commercial tenants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Lots of work being done on the old Post building. I think Alliance is waiting till Lovett gets that work done before their apartment project starts. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Interior work is progressing quickly, sewer work is being done on Bell St. which separates the 2 sections of the Alliance Broadstone apartments. I still think Alliance is waiting out the mixed use construction before they start their project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 One would think that with new construction project they could actually plan to NOT have the electrical pole and its support cables right in the middle of the sidewalk This is just so stupid on whoever makes these kind of decisions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might also be why they haven't poured the concrete where the pole is or where the guy wires terminate.

The wires terminate at the pole in the future sidewalk but will continue to the second pole and then to the building, but those aren't hooked up yet.

Nothing in stone. I believe the closest to confirmation is a potential CVS on site. Sprouts will not be in this location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one circumstance where regulation actually makes sense, right? Even though the company's that feed electricity are private everyone uses the same wires. Its very cost prohibitive at the moment to motivate companies to move anything or bury anything. This is a situation where design standards and regulation can actually help. Utility companies are notoriously difficult to work with, and at this point place their poles wherever they feel like. On 11/2/2020 at 9:40 AM, cspwal said: Seriously?

Now its possible this is just a coordination error, but once one is placed its really difficult to get these companies to move their poles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
