Crescent Park was originally only going to be 995 units and is seeking a major rezoning to 2,295.  |
Great news. JC under Mayor Fulop has boomed. Although the big wild card in a booming JC is the strain on the transit system. But, in the end, its good that these mixed used communities are rising. What they are replacing is worth it. A lot of this region use to be garbage. And literally, garbage, so its good to see improvements.
What will be nice is the neighborhoods between Journal Square and Newport/Downtown are set to boom as well. Making a nice, high density node of highrises and mid rises between the two main skyscraper nods. Journal Square I'd expect in the next 10 years to rival downtown JC.
The foot traffic from observation is impressive, and its good that there will be an evermore increase in street activity.

Was talking to a friend of mine the other day about Journal Square, and he said its a dump. Mind you he's an architect. I just wanted to pull a Joe Pesci on him. You know, with a telephone. And I don't think real estate people would mind either. Say dumb things, get a telephone over the head.
He just doesn't know. Journal Square will be one of the hottest neighborhoods in the next 5 years.
