Oh, the horrors! That would cast a shadow all the way up to Midtown. (note hint of sarcasm).

That is a seriously encouraging map for what’s currently a dead zone of a block.

This just hit the wire but there was a neighborhood meeting in October (with 3 attendees). Applicant Name: NCR HOSPITALITY CORPORATION, BENCHMARK AUTO WORKS (for what it’s worth) Not sure what next steps are but I’ll email Morningstar and inquire. [image] [image]

Which is owned by CN hotels, who is developing the Chick-Fil-A hotel across the street.

I was just driving through town and saw a fence up at the former Firestone lot, with workers onsite. It was a puny fence, but still…

That’s construction staging for the hotel project next door.

Is something actually happening like now? Or are they just going ahead and doing demo / site prep

Sorry, I realized this was originally a planned hotel site so I updated my post. It’s the Hilton Garden Inn/Homewood Suites site next door staging.
