LIA is proposing a 16s residence building and underground parking behind their existing 3s building on the south side of Horton, just east of Richmond. The goal is to have all their students living in one place, rather than scattered around downtown in various locations.
I think this is wonderful news. It is key to put some residential development in the area to bridge the psychological barrier that exists between Old South and the downtown.
probably much better than what we might otherwise expect given the location

Such developments in previously unpopulated areas often are the catalyst for other developments. This would be ideal for the SOHO area as this section of it is generally considered a no-man's-land stuck between downtown and Old South.
