An updated take on the Viridian. Also not mad at the renderings...

Loving them here, as well.  Very nice design outright.  Then, when you factor in the departue from the blue glass look, it will make the project stand out even more in the skyline.

We’re the towers shortened as a requirement for approval, or is that what the developers did themselves?

We never knew the height in feet of the towers only the number of floors. Tower 2 has the option of being 32 or 35 floors. They have not decided on which it is going to be, but they are approved to go to 402' at 35 floors.

Tower 1 is technically 31 floors.

No they won't. Pure Vancouver style blandness. Assurion, Alcove, One22One, Pinnacle, and Prime are much more stylish and attractive.

I hope some of those music execs flocking there will buy 3-story penthouses on those buildings... given the sightlines from that location (unobstructed across the Interstate 40/65) would be a great investment.

I was simply suggesting, IMO, their differentiated look alone would help them stand out, whether someone thinks they're stylish or not.  Like if you had a grouping of 10 houses and nine had aluminum siding and one used brick.  The brick house could be butt ugly, yet it would stand out from the othes because it was made of brick.

Demo continues on the dairy site, including the removal of the silos.

Demo of former dairy buildings continues.

Anyone here know when that dairy was first built there?  Was it there 100 years? 

I'm aware that Broadway was very commercial between 12th and 17th, I believe with many car dealerships.  From what recently was along the parallel stretch of Church, it seemed to be much more industrial. Just curious. 

[bnacincy]

If I remember correctly, it was built back in the 80's.

More demo.

Milk towers came down several weeks ago; the rest of what is facing Church St. should be gone within the next few weeks.

Has a construction start date been announced? I see they're starting with the two residential towers in the 32-35 range, but I don't recall/see any start dates mentioned. Has initial permitting been done?  There's just so much going on up there, it's almost like trying to keep up with ATL.

I know they’ve filed the final site plan for review, but not sure on other permitting. 

[smeagolsfree]

I have stopped trying to keep up with some of the permitting ant more. Besides Metro is still way behind and still makes major boo boos. Found a big one this morning that was listed under the wrong address. I have just stopped wondering why, for that matter just stopped wondering about Metro codes. It is the blind leading the blind, deaf, and stupid.

A tiny remnant of the dairy remains and will be rubble by. the end of the day.

Demolition continued until after dark. They seem to be wasting no time (or overtime expense, it would seem) to get this site cleared of its old industrial identity. Hope this means we’ll see an active construction zone soon!

Only if the strip club across the street is renamed Country Delite

Edit: we can't call it Purity because she's on the main stage. OK! I'm done! No more I promise.

Perhaps if the rate of progress for this project continues, it will take a lot of the sting away from  our disappointment from the circle projects.  Can't wait to see some height on the immediate western edge of the inner loop (40).

Saturday evening. 
All buildings gone.
