Yeah I do too, it would look nicer.
Does anyone like the look of the other ones down the street? Black and wood grain. Think itâs called âThe Saintâ IIRC. I think they are some of the worst Iâve seen anywhere and the sticker price is unreal
Not a huge fan. They are nice inside but just not my style outside. Not sure how sales are going.
Aesthetically theyâre fine to me. Not my ideal, but I donât think theyâre ugly or anything. However, theyâre asking $2M for some of them.

I will not be buying that unit.
Can we pitch in and buy it for our DTR clubhouse once the social D is over?
Iâll kick in $20.

Yes, would love to see some of this make its way to peace st.
Really? My girlfriend and I absolutely love the exteriors. I hadnât seen the inside, since Iâm not in the market for a condo downtown. Looks very white. Canât imagine spending 2 million bucks on that. Iâd rather have any of the nice huge single family homes within 5 miles of downtownâŚ
This is the sort of product that could line Peace Street from Glenwood to St. Maryâs, among truly urban form businesses (not that McDâs, Subway, etc.).

Remember Iâm the conservative in the group. We like brownstones and brick townhomes.

Iâm a huge fan of the historic traditional brownstones you see in large cities with the tall ceilings/windows, brick, etc. I think the closest thing we have to traditional are the ones on Bloodworth and/or these new Cameron Crest ones.
They are not traditional, more of a modern spin on a traditional brownstone, but The Clark Townhomes next to Cameron Village look good in my opinion. https://www.clarktownhomes.com/
@John weâve talked about this before, but if we could get some beautiful historic looking, traditional style brownstones in between corner condo buildings with retail/restaurant on first floor on peace between St. Maryâs and Glenwood⌠that would be so beautiful

I know of a out-of-place McDonaldâs that I wouldnât mind seeing replaced with somethingâŚ
Would prefer taller than youâd get with townhomes (4 stories max?), but there doesnât seem to be all that much organic development momentum on the south/southeast side of downtown yet (maybe the Meymandi Hall parking lot redevelopment will help change that, I guess weâll see), so Iâll take townhomes. Anything that would add some fuel to the fire over here.

Donât worry, this McDonaldâs is getting torn downâŚand replaced with another single story McDonaldâs
Speaking of McDonaldâs. I just realized the one in Cameron Village closed. Looks like Donalds sold the property?
At my timescale this was just done. 2004 maybe? Plantings, buried all the overhead wires, paving, sidewalksâŚall of it. Glenwood shouldnât have nice things because it doesnât deserve it. Maybe once the clubs are gone that invite the people who trash the place itâll settle down, but until then why even try.

I agree. I think your timeline is right. We put a lot of money into Glenwood South and while some areas are fine, some arenât.
