Does it have any retail component at the street?

 

No. Wish it did.

This is another one of those cases where ground-level retail would be nice, but the lack thereof shouldn't be a deal breaker.  Church Street is notoriously dead in terms of pedestrian traffic and there is a lot of retail vacancy already, not even counting the Jim Reed building, which is begging to have some life breathed back in to its showcase windows.  Chappy's is vacant.  Several other existing retail spaces are either medical device or office furniture showrooms, which don't attract a strong walk-up crowd. 

 

My perception is that Church Street desperately needs residents living on or immediately adjacent to the street in order to support the retail spaces that it already has.  Adding retail to this building would be nice, but would only add more retail inventory to a street that presently is struggling to support ground-level retail and restaurant spaces other than Hustler Hollywood, Midtown Wine & Spirits, Tribe/Play/Suzy Wong's and to a lesser extent WKND, which are more destination locations that people drive to rather than "neighborhood" hotspots that could ever survive on foot traffic alone. 

 

This part of Midtown needs the rooftops much more than it needs the retail spaces.  There is still plenty of room to add future midrise residential buildings with ground-floor retail when the market is ready to support that mix.

Of note on Church St., there are a number of projects slowly taking shape.

 

One is the French Landing Brewery next to Midtown Liquor.

 

Another is the Chris Moore building that is being renovated for at least two restaurants.

 

There is a new Indian restaurant at the Judge roons BBQ site now.

 

The Project Tony is doing of course at 1818.

 

The Dallas on down at Elliston.

 

Now the Jim Read building along with the Chappy's restaurant building are vacant, but I think something may happen sooner rather than later with these projects all moving forward.

Which one is the Jim Reed bldg? Is it the greenish bldg across from Advance financial? If not I really like that building and I hope it gets used. Imo it has a Florida or California vibe to it.

No, the Jim Reed building is across from Midtown Wine & Spirits and beside Play Dance Club. It could be turned into an awesome restaurant, retail space, or nightclub, or even divided up into multiple uses. Edited by NashRugger

Here is the project I was mentioning this morning. The permit was issued for "The Margaret". This is the only rendering we will get on this project.

Isn't it strange that there are no doors on the front of the building on West End?  It might as well be the back of it.

 

I hate that SO much.  This trend needs to stop.  So if a resident is approaching the building from the street walking in they have to walk all the way around to the back of the building and through a parking lot to get inside.  Makes so much sense!!!

Well, you know, all those AMP riders getting off and knocking on doors or whatever it is they will do out there...

Lot was for sale obviously. I am certain had you put in a bid with a business plan and financing you could have gotten the property and developed something attractive. Oh well, next time, right?

Maybe. My money's tied up in another project right now, unfortunately.

I'd say the majority of opinions about Stonehenge on this board are negative. Despite the fact that they kind of began the urban Renaissance with 11 north. Their product is what it is. But the market obviously wants it.

No I don't have that much money. But the way people on the board bash developers you'd think it was easy to build a multi family building, that's the point I'm trying to get across. It's not easy. And you have to build to the market within the constraints of your resources, which obviously Stonehenge does quite well.
