Those of us who remember the early days of HSPVA know that the trombonists practiced in the bathrooms, not the hallways.

Architects give building a playful design

"...HSPVA principal Scott Allen said the building has been designed to provide students with more places to informally perform.

"They won't be practicing and rehearsing in the hallways anymore," Allen said...."

I'm not sure there is a public school where students who play instruments DON'T practice in the bathroom. That's what we did at my high school. Terrible acoustics though, play the right note and make the toilet seats vibrate harmonically

As for the dome, as cool as that zip line thing sounds it seems like a gimmick and they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for reuse ideas.

KP Plaza: New Info

Hotel



http://www.credgroup.com/content/hotel.html

Quote:
The hotel in KP Plaza will be a high end, full service hotel. Major brand names are available to choose from.

The market feasibility study revealed that the market is demanding a high end hotel with 250 rooms along with the proportional space for amenities.

The hotel will be managed by professional management company to offer the best possible luxury accommodation for business travelers as well as leisure customers.

Once the hotel is in operation, it will have huge impact to local economy. It will not only create a great number of job opportunities, but also high end consumers to the restaurants and other retailers in the KP Plaza.
Office/Condo



http://www.credgroup.com/content/office.html

http://www.credgroup.com/content/condo.html

Quote:
High rise residential condominium is the complementary component in KP Plaza development. It will offer monthly rent to needed parties, a unique niche market in WestChase business district. The Condominium is also an upscale development that will share the amenities in the hotel.

The 120 unit condominium will be sold to public at certain time at market price. The convenience, the easy lifestyle, and the luxury feeling of living environment will certainly attract both X generation as well as some empty nesters.

The site is reserved for an A class office building of 200,000 SF. There are more than 500 parking spaces will be assigned to office building tenant in nearby garage.

The office building will not be a speculative one.

We are open to talk to potential tenant, office broker and investment fund to build a specific office building according to their needs. We are also open to office building owner who want to use the building as their office, or office building owner who want to expand their building portfolios. At last, if someone insists on using the site to design and later build their own building, the option will be considered as well.

The community Archstone Memorial Heights was sold to Houston’s Midway Co. and Dallas-based investment firm The Lionstone Group, according to Atlanta-based ARA, which marketed the deal. Midway is responsible for City Centre and downtown’s Green Street.

“I expect we will see a major mixed-use development on Washington Avenue similar to the CityCentre mixed-use development,” Rotan said. “This is a great opportunity for Midway and Lionstone.”
