Lofts of Lavilla are looking good.
Didn't realize just how close to the Skyway tracks the development is.
Also, not a fan of the Gate Station in Brooklyn, but I do like the Brooklyn signage:

Seriously. Makes it look like the El in Chicago. I like it, though not sure if those units next to the track would like it.

Ah, thanks.
Updated. Looks like no change. Feb looks odd. Did we really have several projects begin and end in Feb?

There were several small scale businesses taking over existing retail spaces. They opened their doors by the time the March update was completed.

The skyway isn't very loud if that is what you were implying.
From the last few months of pictures I get the impression that the restoration of the Elena Flats building may have been a little more involved than originally thought.

It was but you're right, it's not. Just saying.

That's the impression I got too from driving by it frequently. Definitely a labor of love. I'm sure there are quite a few more economically feasible small/midsize apartment projects that they could have done downtown instead.
Does anybody know what, if anything, is going on with 218 West Adams street? It looks like a great building for apartments, especially if there is space available in the adjoining garage. I assume it was a 2008 crash victim.
I believe the wrong picture was attached for momni. I thought they were moving into the White House across from roux art. Not in roux arts current spot.
Yes, you are correct. I meant to switch it out. I'll do so tonight.
The construction fencing for the MOHS site on park street has been removed. Not sure if this project is officially dead or just dying? I'm hoping they got approached by a buyer with better plans for the building.
Not a fan of being granted the demo permit without everything in order to begin construction. I feel like they should be issued in tandem. The buildings on the site weren't amazing, but at least habitable.
A little off topic but doesn't Fidelity own the old Fire Station in Riverside near their headquarters?
Do they have plans for it? Anyone have any insider info on the future of that structure?
I assume they would have a hard time getting permission to knock it down.
I believe they can probably knock it down whenever they wish. They won that battle a few years back.

^ Pet peeve!

I wouldn't be surprised if the property is back on the market within the next month.
There has been some activity at the MOHS site this week. Does anybody have any idea what is going on with this project?
Two speakers at the 6/21/17 DIA Board meeting during Public Comment spoke about positive action on our Waterways in our 2014-560 CRA/DIA zone. #8 Coastline Dr. Is supposed to cut off the pilings in the water at the deeper depths that would allow fishing from a watercraft. Let's all hope that hasn't changed. How many pilings will be saved? Let's get a pool started on that one. Seriously.
Talked with some of the construction guys and the ADA Sydney Gefen kayak launch should be open next month. Very positive. Even a DIA guy at
the 6/21/17 talked about the ADA component after the meeting.
