So the crane is on the Joske site. I remember reading that the structure would be built to accommodate a vertical addition in the future and another source stated that there may be apartments on the upper floors.
Does anyone know what is actually going up?
Below is the most recent rendering and it does not have any additional floors:
- I believe that only the first three floors will be retail and restaurant (based on development services documentation from a while back), but how many additional floors will there be?
- Will there be additional floors of residential as rumored in the past?
- What kind of future vertical addition will this current construction be able to support?
From what I have heard, which is very little, I would assume that only the retail component will be constructed (at the moment). Then sometime in the near to not to distant future there will be a residential component of several floors, but not necessarily to anywhere close to the original tower proposal. That tower proposal is being reworked to be a little east on Market St.
Here are some cool images of the site currently:
