City Centre 7 Parking Garage and Retail.  Will be located  North of City Centre 7 office building and the AC Hotel.  7,155 SF of retail space.

 

 

I spoke with a friend this morning who brought up this property.  She said that some existing site utility issues at McAlpine St. were being finalized and that the multifamily development is now moving forward.  The building design and total levels is not yet finalized but it will be a mid-rise with surface parking at Level 1 and a concrete podium above with residential levels stacked.

 

This is a Padua property and there are rumblings about Hines, to what extent I am not sure.  I asked about Marquette Cos. and received shoulder shrugs.

 

Please consider all of the above the be "water cooler" talk.  I do know that this development is moving forward, whether is goes beyond final design and pricing is uncertain.  Or perhaps this is all posturing in an effort to push the land sale?  This info should make things as clear as mud.
