As a refresher, the project includes two 23-story towers over a common five-story base. 314 units are proposed. The building will be 267 feet tall including the fins extending above the roofline. Approximately 7,000 square feet of retail space is also included and 282 structured parking spaces.
Here are the latest renderings:

They are going to have to market the hell out of it's sanitary upgrades.

This was originally supposed to be (more) affordable condos but
checking out their web site they do mention "tenants." Maybe it's an open question which way they want to go.

The Louisville decision was a head-scratcher. They bent over hoping to appease the nay-sayers but the opposition grew faster than they could meet demands which became unrealistic.
The Good News that they still intend to pursue another Colorado site even though they could go elsewhere without the hassle - like in Texas.

I am most excited about that development because it's bringing more senior units to the centre city - wish we saw more of that (this coming from an evil millennial).

Big property rights fan here but not sure it would apply?
I caught the agreement with respect to Carmen Court. Glad to see this happen but it appears this may still take awhile.
Off the beaten path
I will be so happy, happy when this election is over. There is nothing so stupid and silly as American Politics. Still I'm fascinated by the process, the demographic breakdowns etc.
I start my day at
"Axios" which is a newer site being funded by Steve Jobs wife as well as an easy-to-scroll thru start to the day. Reuters is still my favorite no-drama, credible source but these days I live at Politico because of it's excellent writing and insight.
Ofc Colorado is no-drama this year except wondering about the Gallagher Amendment? In AZ, the Trump family has been a frequent visitor but this state could very well turn blue. High probability that AZ ends up with its 2nd Dem Senator - something that hasn't happened in forever.
See you all next week.
