Ivanhoe Village / Loch Haven Park

I believe this is a different proposal than the other 14 story building proposed for Ivanhoe. This one is at 68 S Ivanhoe, right next to the DoubleTree.

The building is nothing special but I'm loving the density.

what's funny about DTO, is that we're so used to it being sparsely densified, that when you see a proposal like this one for the location that it's at, you're like...um, can that fit there?

I was thinking the same thing tbh. But that's why "low" cities like DC or Paris are shockingly dense: four to ten stories with very few gaps.

It'll make a nice streetwall fronting the current Chamber of Commerce / potential Holocaust Center building.

I'm somewhat ok with low rise buildings so long as they are high quality (materials used).  There are a lot of lots that should be filled in still.  Just look at the overhead shot you just posted...  Weber & Magnolia for one...the lot in question above; that parking lot at Magnolia , Orange, and the RR tracks...  we're just so used to empty lots here they are almost overlooked...

Totally agree. Unfortunately, Lake Highlight Prep keeps a lot of its land vacant for parking or storage...

Looks like mast arms are getting ready to be installed at Princeton and N Orange.
