Hey Smeags... the link is to the Werthan Flats info. It is the same developer (SWH) as RMH. Didn't know that there will be 3 more buildings (already announced) on RMH. That will be pretty cool when complete. Timetable?

 

Here's the RMH building... 7 stories...

There are three more apartment buildings that are to be built there and one of them will start by the end of the year. It escapes my memory who is suppose to do the buildings, but the architect is local, I do remember that.

Pinnacle for sale. Would be a whopper if it sells. I think we talked about this already, though.

"Pinnacle for sale." wow! I hope the new owners don't move it to another city.

So is it a bad sign if they are selling and then also citing that they were unhappy with the pace of leasing?  If the market demand is so high then why would they be facing this problem?

 

Side note, I went for a bicycle ride around town today and the Hyatt Place really looks good when coming across the pedestrian bridge.

They are taking advantage of a strong office market. Not a bad sign at all.

I honestly have never really been in the Metrocenter area, but yesterday I decided to ride the greenway that goes by it. I really like that area and it seems like it would be a great area for future development. Did it experience flooding though a few years ago?  Also what is the large building with a blue roof off of the pond? The whole area around the pond looks great to me.

That is the development known as "the mistake by the lake"...Fountain Square. Used to be a little mall with a theater.

Wasn't the area originally just a wetlands/floodplain before it was developed? 

 

Most of the area was landfill - the dump.  Not too long ago, there was a fire underground from buried garbage.  And, the area along the riverbank where the Ted Rhodes golf course is was eroding and dumping garbage into the river; necessitating an expensive rip-rap placement.

If the levy had broken, well I guess I can say HELL yea it would have flooded. If you take a walk on the greenway, you will see the river and when the flood hit , the water was actually a lot higher than a lot of the buildings there. There were a lot of folks that could not work because of the fear that the levy would break. I f you thought the flood was bad, it could have been a whole lot worse.

Two mobile cranes at the Werthan site and a hell of a lot of infill construction going on in Salem town.

[Guest 5th & Main Urbanite]

Still no start for the Hilton Garden Inn on Almond Street. They finished demolition back in February. Three months now. No permits yet? What is up?

[Guest 5th & Main Urbanite]

North Capital will be at the explosion point at some time in the future like the East Side.

[Guest 5th & Main Urbanite]

Saw the two tower cranes today. Stellar. I bet this building rises fast. Could top out by years end.

[East Side Urbanite]

Was with 5th & Main Urbanite in The Gulch today. Bond Coffee has a very contemporary vibe.

 

Two cranes at Hensler site are towering.

The only thing I wonder about with NC is the potential flooding issue. Otherwise, I think it has to be primed for a building boom. It will be really cool when the entire north side is one contiguous urban hood connected to downtown.

[smeagolsfree]

There are supposed to start on it this month according to WW.

 

Also the Fed Reserve building project has started.

[nashvillwill]

^^^wow. They didn waste any time with that one.

I'm anxious to see what the Federal Reserve Building will look like following the conversion. I'm having trouble picturing it as residential in its current form.

Same here. Definitely not one of the properties that jumps out at you as a potential residential conversion.

[Guest 5th & Main Urbanite]

Crane now down for the Hyatt Place.

[Guest 5th & Main Urbanite]

Still waiting on to see who got TIF. I can't believe they have not let the public know yet. I am pulling for Swerdling so Tony can focus on The Sobro.

Book about the MCC construction process will be available soon.
