Do we think this new development will be visible from the Southbound Capital Blvd entrance into the city? All the new Smoky Hollow/Glenwood South development has really made that drive in feel like you’re entering a dense, urban environment and I love it. With more density visible to the East (or to the left of your view entering this direction), it would increase that feeling tenfold. At 7-10 stories it’ll probably be somewhat close in height to the Albermarle Building I’d think, which is definitely visible from this direction…

Whenever the state gov. vacates the PS2 building, it needs to be converted into a Video Game Museum / Arcade with old school games / & E-sports center.

Good question. Can someone look up the height of the new building(s) and I can fly to that AGL and see if Capital Blvd is visible. Probably the best estimation at this juncture.

I have to say that building has sort of grown on me in its uniqueness and oddness. I kind of want it to stay just for its quirky contrast to sleek and hip new construction.

Indeed. I love it - I bet it sucks inside, but I love the exterior

The Archdale building can become the Arcadedale building.

I wasn’t able to get a picture, but just drove by and Sunflower Cafe is no more. Fencing is up and the building is reduced to rubble.

I’d love to see a Peace sized apartment/condo building on that lot
FYI I’m referring to your comment about another lot beside this project
It feels so much bigger than it was. Shows you how much space that surface parking took up.

That’s a really good point/observation Leo. American cities are likely at least 50% surface lots when all is said and done.
