Maybe I stretched by saying “big” but it is certainly a factor. |

Regarding any units facing north...maybe all the entrances to the units will be on the north-facing façade? |

Construction cost is already slightly over $1 million per unit delivered. I would think the smallest/cheapest units are going to start somewhere between $1.15 & $1.25 million (maybe higher). Pearlstone would price these completely out of the market if they spend any more money on something more architecturally pleasing to some. IMHO, I like these. I think the design is appropriate for the area in which they are to be constructed. |
I also kind of like the height in that area. It allows for increased density while providing greater depth when viewing downtown from the west. I look at it like foothills before the statement peaks in a mountain range. If this were on a surface lot between Lamar and I-35, I'd want a bit more height. But I like these here.

Give me a facade material or color other than brick and concrete panels. Give me curves and setbacks. These just look like something I'd expect to see in Mueller or the Domain. In fact, I think there are even more interesting buildings there. They're not bad by any means, possibly even handsome, and of course more density is good... but is there anything to be excited about? IMO no. It's another storage unit for rich people, at least it could look cool. |

I still am really confused how they are solving for the train track though -- if it's at grade people are going to be stuck waiting to get in to the garage for 10 mins every hour for some of the longer trains. Those trains get stuck or stop along that area of the tracks by the trestle all the time too. If they're somehow tunneling underneath the tracks I wonder how they got permission/buy in from UP to do so given the apparent history of them effectively preventing the pfluger underpass at the end of Sandra Muraida Way from going forward. |
I don't think there will be any connection with the road where you turn off Cesar Chavez to the highschool or park area. Even the renderings show there is no drive on that side. The entrances will be on the 5th Street side.

So power lines on one side and train tracks on the other. Sorry, the buildings looks nice and I love the new ped/bike connections to Clarksville, but no thanks. |

And those ( hopefully) ain't goin' anywhere. |
The Historical Landmark Commission agenda for Aug 2 has 96 Rainey (corner of Rainey and Driskill) up for total demolition. Currently looks like a bar, situated next to Lustre Pearl, and of course sharing the rest of the block with the Modern and the Quincy. Anyone heard anything about why this one is going away?

Nice, thanks for the catch. I must have missed your original XtweetX back in June. Looks like even the bars are densing up on Rainey…. |
