I could probably spend an hour looking at that baseball card wall.   I bet I have at least a few of them in my old collection back home... and since cards from that era are effectively worthless these days wallpaper is probably the best use for them!

Where is that rainbow wall located by the way?

Wow!  It's great how they renovated the original stockyards building. The insides look so good. I hope this one fills up fast.

From what I can gather, Elmington is doing the middle portion and it looks to be close to what the original renderings were at least according to the site plan. 

Red Seal homes are goinG to be doing the townhomes closest to Trinity as that is about to go in front of planning for approval.

Elmington just sold 6.2 acres in the back section to MDHA and then leased it back. So it looks as if Elmington will fee develop for MDHA part of the project in the back section.

[ThreatLevelMidnight]

This is all great news.

So is this on the NE or NW corner? If it is on the NE corner, It may be the Bernard Center, but I thought that project was in trouble.

 

I think however, it is the NE corner and the Bernard Center project is dead.

This is the permit for 6 townhomes.

The river may be the focus of the Great Circle residential complex.  However, some of the residents facing the south will have distant skyline views of downtown.  It is unfortunate that they are doing surface parking without any type of design structure to soften the look of the parking lots.  Solar carport coverings would be better than just a blah parking lot with trees in islands.
