ChrisPHous Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hmm will be interesting to see how they squeeze a drive through in there, or if they do at all. It would seem "traffic-y" to have people enter crossing the drive through line on foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem "traffic-y" to have people enter crossing the drive through line on foot. They've got plenty of room there on the left hand side of those pictures. All you need is 12' and that might even be more than is required for a drive thru. They've probably got close to 18' or so to work with between the building and the property line.

King Owl Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 can you imagine living in a condo where you could hear people ordering in a McDonald's drive through line? I can't imagine it would be pleasant to hear fatties shouting at the speaker for their supersized fries and mcflurries all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdueenginerd Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 So, are we discussing about McDonald's or Astoria here? Filling the time until Astoria is built... Either that, or Astoria fails to secure funding and we have a huge thread on a new Wendy's under construction next door 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 That would be pretty awful, yet hilarious, if the Astoria does fail and all we are left with is a detailed weekly log of the McDonald's construction. Sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad. Don't mention it! The Astoria is own of my favorite towers going up. I was already disapointed when the Titan never went up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Don't mention it! The Astoria is own of my favorite towers going up. I was already disapointed when the Titan never went up. Isn't the Titan and Astoria the same project? I thought they just changed the name is all.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golyadkin Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Isn't the Titan and Astoria the same project? I thought they just changed the name is all.. Nope. Same developer, same land, different project. The Astoria actually started out as a rectangular building being pushed for the BLVD Place land that Ed Wulfe ended up selling to Apache. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dane Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 They claim to have pre-sold 40% of the units. I guess the EB-5 foreign investor visa is paying off! They even had a party to celebrate this past week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Thanks for the pics, but am I the only one on the forum that thinks this McDonalds is stupid? This makes almost zero sense.

Golyadkin Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 There is no hype. It's just the only thing happening there right now. It gives us something to watch while we wait. It's going to look ridiculous sandwiched in there like that, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumapayam Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I am wrong. McDonald's is being demolished in Q1, 2013. Half wrong, but looking at this footprint, how in the world are they going to build this condo? Am I missing something here? McDonalds is being rebuilt on the largest corner chunk of land, leaving very little left for the Astoria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonalds is being rebuilt on the largest corner chunk of land, leaving very little left for the Astoria. The pictures on this page don't show the extent of the site. The trailer is going to be removed before construction in order to build Astoria. There will be plenty of room for the tower and McDonalds to live in awkward harmony.
