Miles/ Hallmark in Brooklyn?

The Mexican Fan Palms they've planted at The Peninsula look pretty jacked up. I know trees, and wow, they look sad.

I liked the original Prado Walk layout, but at least something is now going on that empty lot.


Oh, and concerning Brooklyn Park, it isn't on the list for that reason, WHAT CONSTRUCTION?!

Also, just to point out, MODIS losing it's antennas should've been on here. It was a significant change, even if not technically construction.

Anyone know what the latest is with Berkman 2?  When will the construction resume?

[Johnny]

Churchwell Lofts is looking awesome.

BP2 is getting very close to resuming.  Demolition is finished on the garage and a statement from the developer will be released very soon as well.  Project is moving forward and will be finished.  I met the new developers of Churchwell "trevett & Mock" the other day and toured the lofts.  Amazing inside.  They've decorated all the common area hall ways with framed 24 x 26 inch historic black and white photos and the lofts themselves are coming along nice.  Very unique property.  I am going to tour them again tomorrow and will ask the developers if I can take some photos to post.

I cannot wait to see the photos!  Post any other details you can gather... how many units, size, rent/cost, ameneties, etc...

They have closed on 5 or 6 of them and have residents living there  (21 total lofts).  Prices are aound the $350 - $400 a square foot range.  The  5 large three bedroom / two level lofts on the top floor with terrace are amazing.  These new developers are not messing around and really want to finish this building off and sell out.  Also said they were trying to get an art gallery in some of the first floor retail space.  They have 4500 sq. ft. of commercial.

Amenities are pretty scarce.  Summer kitchen on the roof is about it.

What is being shown in the picture titled "unacceptable layout for the downtown core" ?

[willydenn]

Does anyone have any renderings of what the Premier Pharmacy on 8th is going to look like?

[Steve]

Anyone know of any potential retail in the building?

[brainstormer]

With the Peninsula almost finished, Berkman2 about to start up again, Churchwell lofts now selling...it is time to really start promotion for downtown living.  A number of apartments are also available in various buildings on the North and South Banks.  There are many options for people of various income levels.

[Charles Hunter]

The "unacceptable" is on the fringe of LaVilla, between State and Union Streets, between the Ritz and ?Jefferson?.  It is some sort of medical offices.  Blank wall against the sidewalk on State Street (with the downspouts spouting across the sidewalk, instead of going into pipes beneath), and parking on the other three sides, so the front door is not on the street.

Although I know it is not in the urban core, but why arent any pictures about the construction at JIA on here?
