Love this proposed project!! Fits right in with the Pearl!!:cheers::cheers:
So, sirkingwilliam, do you know what the proposed project on 2100 Broadway is?? Saw it on a Rivard Report article a few days ago.:cheers: |
Never mind, I just saw the post further down on the forum!:cheers:
|
I like it. Let's hope that bottom level is some kind of retail.

As much as I hate to give "AweseomeSAView" reason to call someone negative, I have to say ho hum to yet another low rise development that will undoubtedly price out the middle class, much less the poor.
It's a boring design, but at least it has retail, (for those that can afford it), and is in an area that needs some new construction.:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers: |
It looks like a quick-construction dorm in West Campus in Austin, but it's not offensive and it has retail. I give it a 6 out of 10.

I didn’t see the street renderings before. I’m not crazy about the design style but the retail looks good and it would add good density to the area. Notice how 10 stories is starting to get more steam midtown/downtown. Maybe that’s a good sign of developments growing taller soon.

Also, doesn't matter to me personally because I'll never live there, but it's weird that they put the pool facing west when the views of the Pearl are to the east...? |

This project has such a beautiful design!!! It fits right in with the Pearl, like I said and the surrounding area!! I want more, more, more!! This area is exploding with development!!:cheers::cheers::cheers::yes::tup::tup:
Don't see the resemblance to the ugly Austin dorms, though :slob: Reminds more of the east... a Boston, a Nashville, a Philly development!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cheers::cheers: This project is just AWESOME!!!!!!!!!:cheers::cheers::cheers::tup::tup::yes::yes: And with retail!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:tup::tup::tup::tup::cheers::cheers::cheers: |
Love the development but the design is meh in my opinion. Also, if we are going to start doing more retail at the ground level, lets start going more Parisian style and lets have the sidewalk cafes. I love that about Paris.

No elevations were attached to this, but it does say the height is 120 feet, though, I'm betting that's only to the main roof, and that it'll be 10 or 12 feet taller than that to the mechanical.

I'd like to see some elevations at night so we can see what their lighting plan is going to be. Also, any chance the city can incorporate some bike lanes into this area? |

I agree on midrise. Washington DC is all buildings this size with no high rises, and it is plenty of density for vibrant neighborhoods with retail and restaurants.
Also, the RIO zoning overlay generally limits high rises around here, anyway. Plus, this isn’t on a major road, like Broadway, or even a secondary road like Grayson or Josephine. This is kind of in the middle of a neighborhood. I think it’s amazing scale, and I’m glad it’s not 4 story stick frame, but trust me that it will be enormous in the neighborhood, and a nice step up from the 3 story brownstones being built nearby. I’m a cheerleader for high rises, too, but I dont have a problem with this scale at this location at all. Quote:

Also, when I say elevations, I mean the architectural drawings showing the building heights and other technical features, not the artist's renderings show it's cosmetic appearance. I like the building. I think it looks nice, and I would be happy with something like that in Austin. I would love to see something like this under one of our capitol view corridors. Anyway, I did a couple of Google Earth models to show it. You can also compare the footprint sizes to the other proposed buildings. It's bigger than a lot of the new buildings proposed for downtown. Elmira at Myrtle is the blue building on the top left. https://i.imgur.com/ITCygu5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gI67ngP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/KwWKgsG.jpg |
