Even the value engineered renderings look like they have retail, and it seems like this is a spot they’ll make money on that type of space. I wouldn’t be quite so glum!

I mean they’d be dumber than dirt not to still include the planned retail at a major transportation hub in the heart of one of the most densely populated areas of downtown these days…

I hadn’t noticed the prep work on the tracks side of the building, though I haven’t looked either.

Something I hadn’t thought about - I hope they keep some of the backside of these warehouses… kinda miffed they’re barely preserving any of the front facade, so I doubt it… not really keeping in theme with the “WAREHOUSE” district if you remove all the… warehouses

It’s a historic name, like the meat packing district. Or an ironic name.

Unfortunately it’s not getting preserved. It appears the entire side facing the tracks will be some form of screening. Described as “70% openness assumed at garage for ventilation”
I’m sure the developer is looking at this 2-fold.
- They don’t need to spend extra time and money preserving that section.
- They don’t need to build more elaborate exhaust fans and duct work since this side will be exposed for ventilation.

So the entire length of its backside, 5-7 stories up will be ugly as shit, got it!
