I'm out of town through next week so I can't separate and post the graphics in the agenda packet, but there are several projects going before the DDRB today.

They include:

Brooklyn Retail

This project is going before the DDRB today in an effort to gain final approval.  Site plans indicate that the residential project behind it has been named "The Brooklyn Riverside."

The presentation also includes several renderings of the site plans, landscaping plans, and architectural facades. This presentation includes perspective renderings of the development from Riverside Avenue. The pharmacy rendering definitely appears to be a CVS.


The Brooklyn Riverside

This is the residential project behind Fuqua's proposed retail center. There are new elevations for this project as well.


Clara White Mission, Beaver Street Villas

The Clara White Mission is proposing to renovate a existing 3 story building at Beaver & Broad Streets.  The mixed-use project will include 4,600sf of office space at street level and 16 apartments on the second and third floors. This project includes an addition of a modern exterior stairwell and elevator tower.  It looks pretty interesting and will be a nice exterior feature, IMO. The applicant is going before the DDRB for a Request for Conceptual Review of this project.


Southbank Riverwalk

Presentation of new riverwalk plans. request for conceptual review.


516 Adams Street surface parking lot

The grass site of the old Newsome Furniture Building (torn down a few years back) will become a surface parking lot with 55 spaces.

Here is a link to the agenda package, which includes all project presentations for today's meeting:

I guess they have dropped the ampitheatre thing from the riverwalk plan?

I predict that the surface parking and the suburban retail in Brooklyn will be approved, while all of the urban projects, well, they'll find some excuse not to approve them.
