Has this been shared? I don’t think I’ve seen this but…
First page shows a schedule of Feb 2020. Unfortunate timing but great to see activity on the site now. Open before 2023 maybe??

I hope this project helps the L building attract much needed retailers.

Will be excited to get another rooftop in downtown.

The L has its own issues and they are all rental rates…

That’s my understanding as well. That corner unit at McDowell and Davie sat untouched the entire time I lived there. It sounds like F45 is doing well so far, though.
I realize you don’t want to always just take what you can get, but at some point any revenue is better than nothing.

Glad to see this moving forward, this is a good development for this area. The height should also help conceal the jail a bit when viewed from the west. One concrete monolith down, one to go! With the rumored Martin street developments, the new city hall, & whatever rises from the N&O site, Nash Square will sure look very different in the next few years. RIP Berkeley Cafe though.

Unless Berkeley Café is under contract I don’t believe it’s included in the Nash Square Hotel development

Agreed. I don’t believe it’s part of any proposed dev.

You’re right, there isn’t anything currently proposed for that part of Martin St. That was more of an opinion because it seems like the writing is on the wall.
This was a full blown construction site this morning

I dropped by the site a few minutes ago and was able to talk to the construction manager and got some good info, and pics (terrestrial and aerial).
- Current supplies (concrete/rebar/etc) onsite are for shoring up the wall they’ve dug out on the north side of the lot
- They’re having challenges with getting permission to erect a single crane that would swing north over the adjacent property. The owner of that (parking) lot isn’t granting permission. If they can’t get permission from that property owner, they’ll have to get a second crane (don’t cheer 2 cranes!).
- Over the next 3 months:
- Utility work to connect water/sewer will happen on both Davie and McDowell for redundant systems
- Crane(s) will be erected, timeline depends on aforementioned permissions from north lot owner
- Approx the first year will be going vertical with second being finishings, approx 2 year project total
pics coming…
