If you look in the city documents for the CPM north loop office building they do a good job of highlighting this rail corridor and have pictures of it and such.I knew there were some but not back there.There were railroads EVERYWHERE in North Loop

If you stand in the alley rail corridor, the City Hall clock tower is nicely framed at the end of the vista.
Q. What, what? A. In da butt.

They're facing an appeal of the HPC decision (which the City Council could quickly reject this week) and then they still have to get Planning Commission approvals (which could also be appealed). I'd guess they're at a minimum 8 weeks away from having final approvals.
Yep, they are working with the neighborhood opposition and city to try and get through all of that as smoothly as possible.

This came back to the neighborhood board tonight for an update. Sounds like they worked out all the issues with the neighbors who opposed it. They are looking to put a few curling lanes in the plaza that would have cooling coils and be available to the public. Neighborhood voted to support it.
Re: United North Loop Office Building - 729 Washington Av N
Curling like the Olympic sport? Will they provide stones?

Yes like the Olympic Sport. Not sure how it will be managed yet but they mentioned creating a North Loop Curling Club. I am guessing stones will be provided...maybe for rent?

Re: United North Loop Office Building - 729 Washington Av N
I work across the street and nothing seems to have started. I also heard about the June 30th date for parking to end and the lot is still being used. Anyone know what's going on?

They delayed a month. Now it is supposed to start first week in August but that news is a couple weeks old so not sure if it is being pushed further. I do know architects are full time finishing up drawings.

Re: United North Loop Office Building - 729 Washington Av N
This is a huge site. I walk by it everyday but to see it all fenced off makes me realize how much of a hole this will fill in the neighborhood.
Re: United North Loop Office Building - 729 Washington Av N
Finally starting for real - equipment on site and digging...

Re: United North Loop Office Building - 729 Washington Av N
O/T, but has anyone heard anything lately about CPM's "rival" office/parking project a few blocks away? Both projects were approved, appealed, and re-approved kind of around the same time last year. It's fair to assume that both spec projects were chasing some of the same prospective tenants, and that United's project won out. Is the CPM/Swervo project still happening?
Re: United North Loop Office Building - 729 Washington Av N
I don’t know if that other project is still going, but 729 is only kind of a spec project. They secured a (growing) tenant last December: Ovative/group, which plans to have 180-ish jobs by the time it moves into the building.
