The Acorn Apartments / Marriott TownePlace Suites / 415 S. Blount Street

There’s 3 levels of parking. On the “front” there’s ground floor wrapping it, and it looks like the wall in my photo is just enclosing that bottom floor in the area obscured by trees in the rending.

Maybe my numbering helps?

Four-story elevator shaft structure being assembled this week from a surrounding work platform that is raised as necessary. Three floors completed.

Crane delivers pallets of block, steel lintel beams for the doorway openings, and tubs of mortar from the ground near the Blount Street construction site entrance area to a corner of the platform.

I think this will be a nice feeling transitional height between the neighborhood and Downtown itself.

Weird coming back late September and seeing what my new view looks like.

Definitely agree. I think there was a plan for townhomes on this plot a while back and that didn’t sit right with me, considering it’s proximity to downtown and especially the bus station. This kind of density feels right for this neighborhood.

Agree that this land use and building form feels right against the Person Street corridor. Continues the mid-rise form along Blount Street. At only 106 apartments it is small for the usual apartment project.

im not trying to be a “bleep” here but if this is right here is 17 townhomes in another large-home neighborhood right for that area? could 5 townhomes do and keep some semblance of fit-in-able-ness near Williamson. what is the standard?
