Anyone know what is the new business going to be at 2708 Bagby (across the street from the closed down Aloha Modelling Studios)? They have been working on the building and grounds for weeks (daily including Sundays) but there is no signage as to what this business is going to be when finished. What a strange way to promote a future business establishment! Hope it's not a revamped Aloha Modelling Studio!!

Prime Lounge is correct. It will be a "lounge" with a limited kitchen. One of the partners is the owner of Skyline Deli downtown. Now if Farb would get started and the remnants of Aloha would disappear...this would be a nice block.

Billboard pic attached...sorry for the low res. They've since addeded a covered chain link fence are the property. Given the placement of the billboard, I would imagine a rendering/advertisement for the complex. Looking forward to the ground breaking.

The construction you see is a Midtown TIRZ project...updating utilities/water/streets/etc. They currently have Helena and Baldine ripped up.

From what I know about the Farb project, they are eventually planning the midrisde apartments mentioned above. They were unable to negotiate out of the cell tower lease, therefore the building will "surround" the tower. I've also heard this project is delayed behind higher margin projects they have planned.
