Ted's on Broadway/McClintock is awesome. If my memory is correct, I believe they're from Buffalo, NY. |
I noticed that construction has begun on the Concorde Eastridge development on Roosevelt...finally! Bulldozers are clearing the site and they are fencing off the area. Hopefully this is the start of more condo/apartment developments on Roosevelt Row (especially if these apartments are leased quickly).

Nice! Good news there. :)

It's actually happening?!

Hmm...this is interesting. Obviously it didn't happen, as it should be just about completed by not according to the notes, but I never even knew this was "out there" until now...

Maybe they will storm the place like that show on ABC, Extreme Home Make-rover? :)

Nope, nothing cool will come of it, and I'd rather wait 10 years for a kick ass use of that building than to have a low budget hotel to room the dredges of society. |
I agree with VLJohn on this one. I rather a unique botique hotel, like originally planned, go into this historic building. The nice restaurants planned for the "Hotel Monroe" were amazing and the lounge in the vault really different.

Every day the building sits empty it deteriorates more, does not provide tax revenue and does not provide foot traffic. |

thanks for the pics nickw... I had no idea about those portland 2 apartments... did those colorful ones ever get sold/leased???
|
The company I work for was approached last week about providing financing for Portland Two. We are in the process of evaluating the townhome project now. The five completed townhomes have all sold and are occupied. This occured in 2010. There are currently four units under construction and plans for an additional 16. I Like the layout and the location, and as VLJ mentioned, they are colorful.

The Blue on Washington... Lafferty's project
http://emvis.net/~sean/ssp/projects/.../Z-31-11-8.png Detailed siteplan, etc available at http://emvis.net/~sean/ssp/projects/...ue/Z-31-11.pdf |
And if any of you remember CamelSquare on the NWC of 44th St and Camelback, its latest incarnation is a 900,000 square foot office building in 4 stories.
I'm having difficulty extracting the images but they're all towards the end of http://emvis.net/~sean/ssp/projects/...-84_110911.pdf |

My question is, are they planning on knocking down any of that strip center? The PDF seems to say that they're not going to, but I can't imagine how the complex would fit in there without knocking at least a portion of that retail center over. No that strip centers are really worth saving, but as they go that one is pretty nice and always busy, especially that hispanic bridal shop. E: Ah I see now, it looks like they'd be knocking down the Eastern section of that strip center, but leaving the western building. |
That will be a great addition to the outskirts of downtown. Isn't the 12th St. light rail station one of the least used stations? Hopefully this will bring more traffic.
|
Wait a sec, the east half of plaza Azteca? My friend owns a restaurant in that building.
|
Just talked to him apparently this has been in the pipeline long enough he already has plans to move.

Yes. Going to 7st/camelback.

So the Business Journal had it wrong:
The article read that Lafferty's Union Square project on 12th St and Jefferson: http://emvis.net/~sean/ssp/projects/...re/IMAG000.PNG was downsized to The Blue. But instead, they're separate projects. :tup: |

^ That location has been the bane of several failed restaurants. Here's to hoping your friend can break that curse...

Yeah I didn't say anything to him but I think it's dumb.
|
Is Lafferty just looking to piss Calvin Goode off with the idea of renaming the area the "Presidential District" or whatever? I think Goode is almost always wrong with his NIMBY attitude (who knows why he's so against anyone or anything being built in his neighborhood) but trying to rename the area is mind blowing.
That area already has a name, Eastlake. Why try to come up with something corny and lame that sounds like it came out of a marketing department? If anything, Lafferty ought to be embracing the Eastlake moniker. Instead of the nonsensical "Union Square" name (which would only make sense if it were near Union Station) how about "Eastlake Station" (since thats the station its adjacent too!) or some such thing? Even "the Blue" is pretty lame and generic. Calling the projects something that actually relates to the neighborhood would likely go a long way in convincing the people of that area that the developer is sensitive to their history and what they want the area to become. |
One word.... Ego

Portland 2 Update
Went on a bike ride this morning to get breakfast (Breakfast Club) and got a few pics on the ride home.

NE Corner of 7th and McDowell
Landscaping with mature date palm trees was recently put in.
http://i42.tinypic.com/2dbkrab.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/bj7uj5.jpg Looking East from the corner. Concrete work has been done. http://i44.tinypic.com/59twdh.jpg |
^Wow thats a lot of hot, grey pavement. I hope those buildings have some nice big awnings and that those trees are of a nice shady variety.

Concord Eastridge
The Concord Eastridge lot doesn't look any different from last week aside from more supplies being in there. The lot south of it (South of Garfield) now has the same green rent-a-fence around it though. I'm looking forward to work to start there.
