Just happened to be walking by, looked in a window, and someone came out and offered. This has happened a surprising number of times to me with downtown projects, actually!

The view from likely my new studio apartment at The Line! I was sold on the west facing views of Glenwood South and being right next to Publix and above Smoky Hollow.

Another line sized project could easily be built across the street. I’d like to see it happen.

Nope, no thanks, not on the other side of West Street. That’s where High Speed Rail will go - conceivably within 10 years. Nothing more than temporary uses (and interim rehabs of existing buildings that can be amortized over 10 years) should go there.

I am just waiting for some developer to propose something there (so I can anguish over it) but so far it seems people are seeing the writing on the wall: leaving empty lots empty and going for modest renovations where it makes sense.

When High Speed Rail does get built, I hope they will do it right: build it as a viaduct with retail spaces underneath.

You wouldn’t happen to have an example picture or rough design/drawing of how that could look…? :drooling_face:

We’ve discussed 'em before, in this thread.

But aside for that and what @Drew posted, there’s boutique stores in the cobblestone arches of London,…

…as well as tons of bars and restaurants!

…including a club, apparently.

Love that. I was hoping that there could be some small stores under the new Capital bridge over Peace St. Alas, no…

Maybe each arch could be a movie screen?

I love this little metal bridge type of details they’re integrating into the experience.
