Re: Eleven (Ryan Condo Tower) - 1111 West River Parkway - 39 stories / >450'

This is a very Buckhead, Atlanta type project/setting. Also, legit 528 Feet...that would sadly be the tallest building built since what? Dain Raucsher and First Bank Place in 1992?

Re: Market Bar-B-Que Apartment project - 1400 Nicollet

Hmm, I kind of wish they would make an entrance to the building on LaSalle as well, instead of just the 2 apartment entries. I must admit, I am kind of sad to see some of these storefronts go....looks like a decent development though.

Well they do say the rest of the design is spiffed up so as not to need those "gimmicks"...so we shall see!

Re: Downtown Hotel News

So this is where the old motel that was most recently a Ramada was? Challenging location with the folks lining up there for the shelter/kitchen.

Re: Nicollet Mall

I don't think it was Super Bowl prep? There were problems with those lights that were pretty noticeable when using them. Red light would turn then it would take a solid 5 seconds to switch to walk, then another 2 for green. Hasn't it always been like that on Nic? It seems to me I have always notice...

Meh, it's better than what they could have done to it, but those staircases are harsh.

Re: Nord Haus - 315 1st Ave NE (208' - 20 Stories)

Nice!

I also noticed there will be lighting sort of like this, but horizontally on some of the balconies at 365 Nic. It is also on their newer on site renderings, but I don't recall seeing the lighting scheme on previous ones.

Re: United Properties / Four Seasons "Gateway" Project (Nicollet Hotel Block)

The skyways aren't a catalyst to development anymore. I wouldn't say that...it is still very desirable to be connected. Look at how Thrivent's plans unfolded. I am willing to bet the skyway connection has played a part in Alatus latest announced project too...and Four Seasons wouldn't commit to thi...

Re: Uptown Retail & Restaurant News

I hope this Taco John's news is real although I fear it's not. I've long said a Taco Bell/ Taco John's would do well in Uptown. Especially one of Taco Bell's newer concepts that serve alcohol. That would do well in Uptown (replace Arby's???). However, I love Taco John's so I wouldn't mind that eith...

Re: 200 Central - Alatus Tower (Washburn-McReavy Site) 483' / 40 Stories

I am just wondering if, by the time this is all cleared up...they will still be able to finance. That is more what I was talking about. Not whether they would like to move forward.
