Whatever happened the Moxy Hotel that was planned right across the tracks from here?

It is a good idea but needs to be reversed but the hotel on the lower floors and office space on higher floors as they pay more rent and then on the top floor put a restaurant and bar for all to use.

Typically hotels have higher revenue per SF than office. OpEx is a different story, but say you are getting $80/SF for an office tenant, that hotel room getting $250 nightly RevPAR is over $260/SF annually assuming 350 SF rooms (excluding core factor). Now that hotel is probably running 50% opex ratio, so you are netting $130/RSF vs if the office tenant is structured as NNN vs full service lease.

Iâd imagine the S-line project getting funded made securing financing difficult

You can now just ever so slightly see this peeking up around the side of the Peace St Apartment building as you come in from the North (down Capital). I suspect weâll see it peeking up over buildings from that approach within a month or two, max. Theyâre moving fast!!!

This thing is going to be a game changer for Glenwood South. Hopefully it helps the city realize that the true potential of the district is an urban neighborhood and not Spring Break in Myrtle Beach.

John, I think the city gets that. I think everyone wants as many residents as possible in GS. There have been like 10 projects in the last 6 years. The Creamery isnât the start of anything in GS, itâs a continuation. I never go there after 9pm. Plenty of restaurants and things to do besides all of the late-night partying you always complain about. I literally never go there for that. Your narrative isnât totally accurate, at least not in 2026. Maybe youâre hanging on to some old feelings. No one ever counters you on this so here I am. Donât mean any harm.
If you never go there after 9PM, what is the basis for your assertion? If the city gets it, how come Glenwood South is carved out in the city-wide noise ordinance? I am going to continue to put pressure and keep vocalizing my concerns because, as a committed homeowner for 20 years in the district, I want to see it reach its potential before I die.
I still think that Highline will be a game changer because of the type of rental product it is. Itâs not another 5over1 apartment building, and I suspect that its price point will reflect that.

I mean I donât go out there after 9pm. I lived at peace (cortland) so Iâm familiar with the late night scene I just donât engage in that usually. Iâve seen it. My point was that the late night scene is just one facet or GSâs identity. Thereâs so much more there, but the focus is only on what happens late night for some reason.
La Farm is expanding into a full service bakery. I like going to dinner at La Santa and Moe Joeâs. The RBG is great during the day when weather is nice, or anytime really. I know more people enjoy this side of GS too. But we only hear about how âcrazy and loudâ it is late night, unfortunately. Thatâs only a fraction of the story and it gets way too much attention IMO.

While there are some targeted improvements and additions like the expansion of LaFarm, my issue is that there still isnât enough balance that creates an 18 hour neighborhood. All of those late night party locations (and their number is only growing) sit empty all day and largely empty most evenings. Daytime and weekday evening type businesses rely on foot traffic. and the more we have late night venues taking up the RE, the less likely a retail/services business is going to commit to the area and/or make their business work if the parcels around them are mostly dormant. Think of being the only open business in a dying strip mall, because thatâs the comparison.
I am delighted that LaFarm is expanding. I am delighted that there is more housing going in. I am not delighted that the noise ordinance is carved out for the Glenwood South because it enables that which is preventing the cityâs most promising & densely populated district from becoming a truly walkable 18 hour, urban district on a daily basis.

There are many restaurants, small businesses (law firms and escape rooms) along Glenwood that are open during the day. I wouldnât underestimate their impact on foot traffic during the day. I personally believe that this neighborhood is a â18 hour neighborhoodâ already but has many night entertainment venues.
I also live in the general area and the restaurants and other businesses in Smoky Hollow are busy during the day (lunch time). The businesses at 222 Glenwood, seem to do well during the day based on what I see during my afternoon and early evening walks after work (5pm). I believe that GS is unique in a good way due to its abundance of nights clubs, bars, etc.

I think itâs a double-edged sword - if you kill the nightlife (to get the sort of district youâre envisioning) you kill the entire neighborhoodâŚI understand your frustration but I simply donât think you can have one without the other

Is the noise ordinance the thing that is holding back GS from being the 18 hour destination that it could be?
Theyâll need to raise the crane sometime in the next 2-3 months
