DrLan34 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 HCC just (last 6 months) repaved that lot and added landscaping, they are using it for extra parking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 ughh, thats a bummer. dont they have the parking garage to the south of their building to park in? i was hoping for some high rises in midtown in the future to connect the downtown skyline with the museum district and medical center. i guess there are other old buildings and parking lots around to build on.. that lot just really reminded me of the prime lots in NYC around Central Park where they have a few very tall buildings book ending the park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infinite_jim Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 It's a large, undeveloped greenfield in the middle of Midtown; that also doubles as parking for the resturants/bars across the street. No rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdog08 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Do we know the status of the park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The small park on the other side is new information isn't it? Pretty sweet, I think that's a great idea. I also like that the big park has swings, making it a little more family friendly. This whole thing seems like it's gonna be a great addition to the neighborhood. However, what are those white fences on the first floor? Are they private patios or what? They don't look so good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arche_757 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I guess I'm just too dumb to understand what's going on here? So... "Super Block Park" is a no-go. We're getting another 7 floor wood framed over parking apartment tower with rents of 1,500+ for a studio apartment with maybe some ground floor stuff? And we're getting a small park space along Anita? I guess that's good at least? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 ...no.This has always been described as a collaboration between midtown and camden. There was never going to be a full superblock sized park.What we're getting is a park (larger than a normal midtown block) along Anita, a small park along mcgowan, and multifamily in between.If anything, this is actually more park space than was originally indicated.I'm particularly interested in the sculpture garden and market space along main. Hopefully the Midtown management district is responsible for the design of that, and not Camden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks for clearing that up. Any park space is good. I'm pleased Camden isn't just building oper everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisPHous Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I like how it opens up to main st. Also looks like the apt opens in the middle. If that is where the supposed cafe will go it does a decent job of feeling inviting from the park itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
