Saw dumpsters being either dropped off or picked up today. Possibly both.

I was thinking coffee shop too.

Does this thing actually get built? I'm thinking no ....

Looks like there is some activity going on.

I drove by and there was activity going on. There was a rock path in place that I am assuming will be used for heavy equipment and trucks. Does anyone know if this land sold? It has been listed by Bejjani for quite some time.

Mayor Turner wants a theme park for the city .... this could make for an interesting site.

There are very few townhomes under 300k in the area. Most are going for $350k - $450k.

Not sure why one would classify the east end of downtown sketchy ....

I believe that property is going to be developed into mixed use with retail and creative/community work spaces. It may also incorporate part of the block south... next to the building being developed into the comedy club.

The first stage of it has happened. There is now a dedicated path that spans several blocks. It passes right behind 8th Wonder and it's new beer garden.

Eado, East Downtown, or as I like to call it O-Chi (Old Chinatown) as well as the Greater East End has far less crime than midtown. I'm with Samagon .... less traffic is better. People will feel safer walking and biking around the neighborhood. The odds of getting hit by a drunk bro in his leased entry level luxury ride is far too high in Midtown 

The large building bound by Polk, Dowling, Bell, and St. Charles owned by Lovett Commercial. From what I've been told, there are several operators interested in developing that site for a grocery store.

Many restaurants and bars, that already exist or are in the works sit just 3-6 blocks away. Only 2-3 blocks away, plans for a massive grocery store are in the works. The hike/bike trail is only a few blocks East. A lot is planned for this area that I believe will yield good results for this type of development.

"Desirable location" is all relative. I've lived in the area for 10 years and plan on reinvesting in it simply because of the potential the neighborhood has.  The person interested in this type of property is more willing to bet on a less established part of town. In my opinion, there are plenty of people looking for something like this, whether it be for their primary home or as a rental unit.

150k - 350k you all think?

I have been told that this is still going to happen and that it's awaiting permits....

This is great! From what I have been told, City View Terrace is still happening as well.

No problem. I've been curious of what was going to happen with that site. Thanks for the info!

Looks like it's actually on the old Leeland Grocery Wholesale site next to the Reese Supply warehouse.

At least that's what the PDF looks like.

I think this is it.

Spoke to a representative and he said they are waiting on permits from the city and are hoping to break ground in 30-90 days. He also mentioned CVS quite a bit and that rental rates would be typical for a class A building. The current renderings are based on what has been submitted for permits from what he said.
