strickn Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 On 8/14/2019 at 7:34 AM, CREguy13 said: Not exactly. They would close Rosalie similar to the Morgan Whole Foods project. when people need to detour off of Gray to get around something, it really helps to have Webster and Hadley intact. These streets don't go all the way from Fourth Ward over across 288 like it does, but connect almost as well. The city or the management district should recognize, especially if Whole Foods has made this the development epicenter, that they don't need to give up streets here to help Midtown develop anymore. After Rosalie, we'd have only Anita and McGowen for cross-street rights of way to serve as grid distributors. That holds true all the way from Elgin to Hadley-Webster-Gray, because too many have been severed already. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSirDingle Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 @hindesky Do you think they might turn into some sort of leasing office, or do you think it's going to be a short term retail component? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Looks like a drive through for a restaurant. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 The modifications are incredibly light. Like bare minimum. Definitely looks temporary in order to get the most out of the land until something else happens. With how extensive remodels for new restaurants on old buildings have been throughout the area, this just screams temporary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Who applied for the permits on the yellow sheet on the door.? That might explain who and what they are doing. It definitely looks as though there is going to be some kind of drive thru window. Could even be a pharmacy. Lots of options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Asked the guy in the dark clothes what they were building, he said a restaurant, I asked what kind, and he said it might be called "Hola" 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminare Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Yeah a developer has to flip these plots whenever they can...like bacon. Nobody likes burned bacon. Definitely not burned Mexican Food either...Its late I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Bascially we should expect this to not see any action for awhile in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The second page of the permits finally shifted, the occupant name is going to be "Ola H.......". Problem with stucco it shows all the imperfections on a building. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at that, 830,000 sq feet doesn't go as far as it used to -- that or they stuffed 10 lbs of shit into a 5 lbs bag. Either way, this development is pretty underwhelming 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Wonder why they need such a big parking lot for a fast food restaurant 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 This is ridiculous. This lot had the opportunity to really connect the area surrounding the Whole Foods and spur new development where those empty shopping centers are. We waited all this time with proposal after proposal for a damn drive thru restaurant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
