totheskies Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I agree with Niche... the highrise element of this project is too ambitious at the moment. Perhaps long-term. The East End really needs to build up its basic retail infrastructure first before we can even consider projects like this one. We're still operating off of Kombat Kroger for goodness sakes!! The Dynamo Stadium over on Texas/Harrisburg and the new rail line should help, but we have to start small and give people more reasons to discover the East End. What I STILL don't understand is how the East End manages to be so invisible when compared to The Heights or even Third Ward!! Rents are scary cheap in most areas over here, yet it's just as close to Downtown as your overpriced compatriots in the Montrose. East End hasn't been kept up well, but we have an amazing pedestrian-friendly infrastructure of trails, sidewalks and quiet side streets. The only thing missing is more hipsters.
