Agreed that the food cart pod on Scott St looks better than expected! I also don't see how it pencils out with the one we have today already having a low demand.
I'm tied in on the Collectors Mall and there is no plan for tear down today. Current plan is to find tenants to lease out the empty store fronts.
The Golden Nugget, Libby's, and the adjourning bar were just listed for sale recently as well. Will be interesting to see if a buyer comes along for those with a different model. I've always wondered how the Golden Nugget stays open with the hours they have, but it must be the video poker revenue. |
Yeah, I was just looking at that last night, the Hillside and Murphy sites are about three times the size of the Seven Acres site. That's gonna be a big couple additions to central Milwaukie. I feel like I remember the Hillside site having some commercial space, which would be interesting to see if that creates some activity with the amount of people that would be living over there. Probably good news for The Office bar.
With the Collector's Mall, I was just going off the real estate listing where the agent selling it was pretty much listing the whole property as a teardown and redevelopment property. It is something I am torn with because a larger building with commercial and apartments would be good for downtown, but these old buildings are already set up to make good commercial spaces with some renovating, and it would keep some of the character of downtown Milwaukie.
I do wish the food cart pod by the light rail would up it's game with a roof structure with seating. If the parking lot across from the old City Hall gets developed and the farmer's market moves to the south end of downtown, that could help those carts a lot during weekly events like that.
Interesting about Libby's and the Golden Nugget. I have always wanted to see Foxy's torn down and redeveloped into something similar to the Axeltree, but that site alone is too small for that, but that building plus the property that Libby's and Golden Nugget own would be more than enough. Though there is a part of me that would want to see Libby's and the Golden Nugget renovated and reused with the parking lot and Foxy's being used for a new development.
