Spandrel should really start to fly now, I bet it's topped out in 3 months tops.

Side Note: I took a nice walk around Dilworth today and I cannot help but wonder when Fallon will put a shovel in the ground. That land is sitting their in a pastoral limbo and its in stark contrast to the towers rising nearby. It'll look even sillier when the Akridge's 31 floor building starts rising this fall.

Atrium Main hospital and the new tower site.   also the apartment towers down on Morehead.   Lots of construction around the main hospital for sure.

That 26 story portion of the Radius Dilworth tower is really starting to  pop anyone know how many floors it is up to now.

From previous photos it looks like they’re on the 14 or 15th floor so 11 or 12 more to go.

Cute pup!

I hope that parking garage gets some love on that side... looks bare.

Finally had a chance to catch the progress for the Campbell project!

Is anything going on yet in the old Mr K's?  has that Naples Florida based restaurant fallen apart or what?

The Crust opened over near park road shopping and this second location still seems to be in play? But I know there were also rumors of a 15 story tower here too.

doing research for an upcoming walking tour of the Morehead corridor here is a rendering of the completed Radius Dilworth 26 story tower and 8 story midrise with 626 apartments.  next door is the 339 apartment Hanover Dilworth tower 14 stories.

That has gotten significantly uglier since the last time I saw a render… exposed parking deck… bleh

[Matthew.Brendan]

is it just me or is that perspective of the front top corner all sorts of wonky?

The “war on cars” is being waged with valour but spectacularly lost nonetheless.

I dunno, the solders on the front lines at the moment seem to be car makers themselves and insurers. They seem to be reducing demand much more quickly than any urbanist movement ever has.  We are rapidly approaching a point where cars are financially out of reach for most.

“Sales stronger than expected.”  Article does contemplate the condition that consumers rebel against high prices but said consumers haven’t fully done that just yet, or at least not in the aggregate.  I guess we should define victory in the “war.”  Is it reducing demand because consumers value and desire alternative forms of getting around, or is it putting cars out of reach for anyone but the rich even as the craving has never abated?

Yet, we gotta wait and see how permanent these cost increases are. It certainly seems like one promise of electric cars is much lower costs. To my surprise it seems like the new car market is going the same way as housing -- luxury only. 

My definition of victory in this war would be urban and suburban consumers having a viable choice of modes for all daily activities -- I don't think it matters (to me) how we get there.  My war is against the monopoly (and the subsidy), not the technology.

So your goal is for the “state” to have a much bigger share of the market for meeting consumer demand for mobility?

Wait, whut? I was just riffing on the war on cars, I never intended to plumb the murky depths of neoliberalism. (I was not trying to suggest that the state should control the price of new cars). But since it came up...

Who is building these roads and all the other things (water, sewer, schools, fire stations...) that make sprawl possible and affordable? Last I checked it was the state (using the broad, not literal, definition).

I would like non-auto mobility options to be available for urbanites for both fiscal and environmental sustainability reasons. If sidewalks, safe crosswalks, traffic enforcement and frequent transit are a product of the"state" (just like roads are) then yea, I am cool with that. Reallocating money to sidewalks and transit from things like repaving 277 would certainly allow for expanded mobility options without the state being responsible for a bigger share of the mobility market. There are few modes (no modes?) that are as inefficient as the car in terms of moving people at low cost so such a strategy would actually move more people. If the redeployment of capital away from cars and to other modes is considered to be part of the war on cars then yes, I am a loyal (if ineffective) soldier in this fight.
