Up at EDC Feb. 5 (tentatively):

Could be interesting -- if Kennedy has a free hand!

 

[Daveography]

I'd be curious why they need a DC2. RA9 is very permissive for highrise development.

Gotta be frustrating for planners when they worked hard to bring that new zone about and still having developers having to go DC2.

 

[archited]

@Daveography, maybe it was mandated by the lane closure and thereby the consolidation of the site.

 

[Daveography]

@archited Oh yeah, I was just looking again and see most of the site is actually a DC1 right now. My bad.

 

[MichaelC]

Could this be one of Westrich's "Grandin City" towers?

 

[Daveography]

@MichaelC It's not; though one of those properties is right next door to the east, this is a separate rezoning entirely.

 

[Daveography]

The 4 Ws are Westrich's Grandin City sites.
* is this site.

Interesting cluster of new highrises. @Daveography, what is the purple shaded property intended to be.

 

[archited]

What does the purple "skin" represent?

 

[Kaizen]

@archited , Harley Court office to residential conversion, not sure if there has been any movement on this yet.

[Daveography]

Yup, Harley Court. I think it might almost be done by now.

 

[Kaizen]

Are there any renders floating around anywhere for this one, it was totally off my radar...

 

[Daveography]

@Kaizen Same. Couldn't find anything myself. Will probably pop into the EDC meeting to see what's up.

 

[archited]

Quite the little highrise village happening here.
