DCB: that is great news, maybe this will be a nice mixed use after all, something of which can be found in Greenville. albeit alot bigger in terms of scale

 

 

"1960s-1970s" is Greene street in a nutshell, But add a case of abandonment and ghost town to that recipe, Just so much wasted potential, you would think after all these years the city would have revitalized the area..

I'm hoping all this surrounding development will kick Greene street into high gear... i mean, atleast add plants or benches to the sidewalks.. and fix the damn traffic pattern!!

I drove downtown to check out the progress yesterday after work. And wow Eugene street is a goner...  But you know,I still can't help but think this project could still be built without the need for tearing down another block!, i mean yes it's a ridiculously huge project, but they're demolishing the entire area nearly, albeit leaving a few shops here and there.

 

 

Hell, not much of the area is going to be left, if deconstruction does indeed continue in this trend. It seems as though every day this projects grows.. requiring more and more land. The Lindsay Street closure was one thing. But demolishing another entire block of Eugene street is ridiculous to me. Mind you the current business are not vacant, Ducati and Rhino times happen to be two of the victims.

 

I mean just think of how these business owners feel.. not too long ago there was a news article about how business owners in the area were going to embrace the change and growth, i highly doubt that still stands today, more so their businesses. 

 

Anyway.

the urban loop is moving at full speed on battle ground...they already have the pillars in the ground built for the bridges and the road mapped out. working through the night, infact they are right because i just went by...

Seriously Saying there is no demand for residential in downtown Greensboro is a bit silly..  One only has to look at the current trend of downtown residents to see that demand for residential is needed.

 

anyway here is a map of current downtown developments courtesy of GSOboi From city data forums.

I worked at just how tall this monstrosity actually is.

 

Basing it on other buildings and apartments in the area. 

 

Now take that, and stretch it 1/5 mile into this behemoth.

 

 

Going to absolutely dominate that part of downtown. the sheer size of this thing is crazy.

 

new york city block is absolutely right.

Cityboi, judging by how tall the building is compared to the Car on street level, i'd say it's near the height of the South Eastern Building on ELM, looks to be 8 stories tall, while some portions seem to be 8,1/2 stories tall, either way, that is a ridiculously massive project, Downtown will all feel alot bigger when all this is said and done, it will completely transform the area.  infact iv'e never seen such a massive Residential project this big in the triad. keep in mind it stretches 1/5 mile.
