Retail in urban areas is up against an enormous headwind... online shopping.  Groceries are the one exception, but not entirely. In the day of Hello Fresh, Blue Ribbon and Noom, it's only a matter of time before drone technology conquers the time-distance divide.

If I'm remembering correctly, MarketStreet pulled water/sewer permits for two buildings on the southeast corner of 12th and Demonbreun before the rates were hiked, but they didn't pull a permit for this lot.  Now, there's drilling.  Something happened to make them move on this location and I'm wondering what that is.

If you're interested in the details, here are the spots they've marked for drilling.  I can't see anything in the back corner by A+ but I assume they will drill there too.

Something is brewing as Marketstreet declined comment!

The locations of these drills look very specific. I could be wrong (because this is more of a structural element), but during geotechnical exploration a core drilling group will try to hit the supposed corners of a building and couple in the center and then one or two in the middle of the site to get a solid sense of soils and compaction load prior to finalizing design. 

That being said, If I had to take a guess, MarketStreet would be looking at a continuious streetfrontage, in an L-shaped building. Idk if the back left corner  of the last photo would be left as green space or possibly parking.

I would expect a Terrazzo look-a-like (in terms of the L-shape), but 16 stories. I expect a square parking garage encompassing the whole lot (The parking lot at center)

There is another one in our proposed list that should be finished in about 6 years.

[Skyscrapergeek]

To which one are you referring, Ron? I hope it’s more than one. 

[smeagolsfree]

Another Louisville skyline!

[Skyscrapergeek]

Oooohhhh, I get you now. Doh!

We actually have better than a Tampa in our proposed list.

Who knows what will be coming down the pipeline but the magic 8 ball says things look good.

@PHofKScan correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it’s the stalled development at Cummins Station.

I think so, but I like it better as 'one building with 4 spikes'.
