East San Marco Breaks Ground

The most likely buyers for this development wouldn't be people with kids anyways.

DARN, and I just signed a year lease! UGH!

Just add streetcar and watch it bloom, I'm telling you, this city is a development bomb about to go SKY HIGH!

If East San Marco and Jackson Square, the new Baptist, the new Crown Parking garage and the new Kings Avenue Station don't convince you. "Your lights are on but your house is missing...."

Looking at the google map. I see the King Ave Station extension could easily connect both San Marco Square, East San Marco & then to Jackson Square. What is FEC Park??

FEC is a pretty large park that has not been developed.  If the River Oaks crossing were closed, its possible that the city could get a couple of thousand dollars to put something like a playground or picnic pavilion there.  With a little thought, FEC Park could become a decent urban destination in its own right.

PLEASE NO MORE RESIDENTAL BUILDINGS!!! It is cool about the Publix thing and some nice new retail places... but apartments or condos bring more kids and Hendricks Ave Elem cannot handle anymore children. It seems like this was not considered at all.

Spring park has plenty of room.  Schools can be adjusted easily this is no real problem.

I noticed passing through this weekend that all the property for East San Marco, the buildings still there, have all closed and now have fencing around them. So, expect some extensive demo in San Marco over the next few weeks I'm sure.

is this project still a possibility as proposed?

This is a funny statement. Condos and apartments bring kids? More like retirees and young professionals.

Yes.  However, the project will not move forward until the residential housing market improves.

K. That's all I was hoping. Of course it's too early to speculate when that might be, right? One year? 2 years? 5 years?
