How do you know that 1024 is going away?

 

According to HGMIII, that is what the buyer's agent said.

UBS Tower is getting a prestigious steakhouse, a very surprising location and hopefully the signal of perhaps a new dawn for this neglected section of downtown.

Wonder if the exterior additions to UBS will happen this year?  There are a couple new images in this PDF.

previous building proposed addition

Flashback to 2006 and an addition that was proposed for the (then) Amsouth Bank building. It was to have been intended for use as a restaurant and a gym, I believe.

I like the ornamentation proposed for the top of UBS's east-facing side (the side with the mostly blank wall).    Would like to see that happen, although it's the kind of improvement you rarely see landlords spring for.

From the image in the brochure it looks like the currently dead plaza on the east side will be come a major entrance, with a car drop-off.

I like how this is basically the ownership acknowledging that this is an ugly building.

 

At least they are doing something about it!

When is the exterior renovation supposed to begin?

When is the exterior renovation supposed to begin?

 

Perhaps someone else can step in and answer, but I do know that I have had to walk through scaffolding on the Deaderick Street side, since the first of the Month.   They also have had (or had had) the SW Plaza yellow-tapped off for a while now, probably for surface renovation on that plaza, since it had been in bad shape.  There also has been a lot of sand residue washing down from that plaza onto the sidewalk at Union.  That sand gave me some needed grip when I had to brave the left-over ice, that Metro skipped on removal of.

Food truck court during Live on the Green...   

I've always been afraid of food trucks. All I can think about is getting food poisoned. Yuck!!!! I wish I wasn't so picky about what I put into my mouth because there's not many options for a quick and healthy lunch around my office in the AT&T building.

I guess there aren't any hot dog vendors on Park Avenue!  Like the old joke... the hot dog cart... next to the "feel awful" cart.

Alliance purchases CarQuest property in the Gulch

If Alliance does buy the parcel, I do not expect anything very tall. Even if they could build to 28 stories at the site, Alliance's tallest project is about 8 and that is in Austin. That's better than the auto parts dealer there now.

As far as the food truck park goes, I think that the space under Shelby Street Bridge would be the prime location for such a park.

4 floors would put top floor residents about eye-level with I-40.

Curious if anyone went to this presentation last night about the Printer's Alley hotel.

I couldn't agree more.  It's an interesting spot and it'd be a great place for a food truck park or skate park or art garden or something along those lines...have some artists paint colorful murals on the bridge supports...what a unique public space that has the potential to be!!

The 3 story garage on Church between 8th/9th was coming down today.

That isn't the site of the Courthouse. Has there been anything announced for that site?

Demo permit pulled for 825 6TH AVE S. I think is right in the path of the Division St extension. . .

I've watched that ole business for a while.  From what I have seen it is a one man show who works about 30 hours a week.  Hopefully that entire block gets developed.  

 

This is next to the 1703 Rosa Parks lot that has been for sale for 2.5 yrs
