Or they could slap an Apple billboard on the wall...

This is one of my favorites- the Holiday Inn clarinet mural in New Orleans.

Not trying to be a guastafeste, but the Alexan is residential, not a hotel. Spiffing up a blank wall on a hotel to make it more attractive makes more sense than painting a giant claronet on an apartment building, not that we are getting it done on either here in A- town. And while I like the guitar suggestion, that sliver of vertical blankness would not offer anything close to an accurate depiction of one.

Looks huge from the east side

Nice. It's making an impact on the NE corner of downtown.

I am LOVING the height this is adding for this area. It's very prominent from the east side and going north/south on 35.

clubtokyo · #11 Posted **Mar 6, 2020, 2:52 AM**

I agree! This is really eye catching from the east side.

Looking forward to seeing brick go up on this one.

This will look nice compared to the rest of Ugly Row. The stretch of buildings directly on I-35's Southbound frontage road has got to be the worst in the city (except for the Camden, which at least looks decent.)

Capitol is still visible in that last angle. Woot.

It's almost as if they had planned it.

Approved site plans and building permits don't specify whether or not a project has affordable units on site. The best way to find that info as far as I can tell is to reference the Design Commission back up files. I did that for this project, and page four of the file for this project does say they will have onsite affordable housing. So this project can continue.
