FWIW, I drove by this site the other day and saw
no evidence of any construction (or even site preparation) for the proposed dual restaurant property.
This of course doesn't mean that this development isn't happening, but the silence has been deafening. The two presumed restaurants were
Jack Astor's and
Milestones. It's possible that other opportunities may have opened up for these brands elsewhere in the city since these plans were originally drawn up. In particular, there is supposed to be a "nationally branded restaurant" as part of the new Hyatt Hotel downtown by the events centre. I could see this as being Milestones. If Milestones withdrew from the Holiday Inn project, this could have put the kibosh to the entire possibility of the dual restaurant project. We should have greater clarity on all this in the next few months........
The loss of the
Cabela's store from the Mapleton Road district, and the impending move of
Costco to Granite Drive may have reduced the appeal of this proposed development
