Brooklyn Riverside Residential Development Renderings

Johns Hopkins used to do the same thing....but now they are focused on improving the areas around the hospital

I was flying delta yesterday and in sky mag there is an article about US medical tourism. The focus was on the Texas medical center in Houston, mayo clinic in Scottsdale and Rochester, and Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, but at the end they included a chart with a few others like Mass Gen in Boston and a mention of Mayo also being in Jax.

No point here, just a coincidence.

^Yeah.  One of the things I liked best about Rick Mullaney's failed run for mayor was the idea of making and building the area around Shands into a medical district.  I hoped Brown would have taken that idea and ran with it.

Pollack Shores Real Estate Group paid $7 million for about 7 acres in Riverside and landed a $28.4 million mortgage to develop "The Brooklyn Riverside," a 310-unit apartment project.
Through NW/PSREG Brooklyn Owner LLC, Pollack Shores bought the property from P&L Riverside LP, the Pope and Land group that initially planned to develop the site.

The deed was signed and the mortgage from PNC Bank issued on Nov. 1.

The city is reviewing building permits for The Brooklyn Riverside at 100 Magnolia St.

As reported, construction is expected to start this month and the first phase could be completed late summer or early fall 2014. Pollack Shores Real Estate Group of Atlanta, shown as the owner on a list of team members, has applied for building permits for the $24.8 million project.

The project encompasses seven buildings that total 310 residential units on the 7.96-acre site. Plans show four four-story buildings and three three-story buildings. Average rental rates will be between $950 and $1,500.

The Brooklyn Riverside will be built near 220 Riverside apartment and retail project and the Shoppes on Riverside, a retail development that will be anchored by The Fresh Market.

where is the new hotel's going in brooklyn? the only area left is along forest blvd that i can see ?? there are about 9 acres of land if you were to group all those lots where the broken down dwellings remain > they are all mostly empty lots but some have people living in them but they are not up to code and most are literally falling down why dont they just go ahead and demolish the ones that are vacant?? since the land is selling for 2 million dollars an acre in brooklyn it makes no sence to leave those old structures standing > i was talking to the owners of those old houses and they were offered about $5000.00 to sell their homes and most of them took the money and left .......... So there are not many remaining , maybe about 16 houses ?? one guy is advertising his at $8000.00 cash to sell his home but it is falling down about to be a hazard
