So what part of this massive development is currently being built? Can someone post a picture of what they're currently working on? Also, is there a site plan somewhere, illustrating everything?

Mr Downtown · #**184** Posted **Oct 7, 2016, 3:13 PM**

Building D is under construction. It will look like this:

I think most of the riverwalk is to be part of the initial construction, but obviously all the new public space can't be completed until other buildings are in place.

Here's another image from a couple of pages back, looking SW.

Incidentally, that site plan is the first time that the vacant lot on the NE corner of this development has really stood out for me. I don't recall seeing anything or reading anything about that parcel....unless I've missed something.

It is owned by a different developer. I don't believe any plans have been announced for it - yet.

KWILLSKYLINE · #**187** Posted **Oct 8, 2016, 6:20 PM**

Whats the reason for that? I figured a development team would want the entire area, unless the the price is that high, or that site has something big planned?.

Mr Downtown · #**188** Posted **Oct 8, 2016, 7:47 PM**

That corner was broken off in 2005 by D2 for a project that never happened. It was supposed to go to auction in 2011, but I don't think a new buyer ever closed on the land because I think D2 was still in control when Divergent was filmed there.

I would guess that CMK tried to buy it because it would have made site planning a lot easier, but concluded the asking price was too steep.

This render suggest it goes all the way from Roosevelt to Harrison, no? Does anybody have a site plan for the part south of Polk? Or are just focusing on the block between Roosevelt and Polk for now?

Mr Downtown · #**190** Posted **Oct 8, 2016, 10:39 PM**

Here's what's in the PD. I expect the building footprints and other details will be refined substantially in the decades to come.

KWILLSKYLINE · #**191** Posted **Oct 8, 2016, 11:44 PM**

Hopefully really tall. Im hopeing 60

Mr Downtown · #**192** Posted **Oct 9, 2016, 12:23 AM**

Dream on.

Kumdogmillionaire · #**193** Posted **Oct 9, 2016, 7:38 AM**

I think he's hoping for 60 on the lot that isn't being developed here, Mr. Downtown. We all already know the rough heights of all these buildings

KWILLSKYLINE · #**194** Posted **Oct 9, 2016, 8:34 AM**

I am. But not all dreams come true.

A lazy Saturday afternoon.

Must have a full set of bits, just gotta.

Mr D - (or anyone else)

The elevation and the site plan you posted of the southern portion of Riverline (River City-South to Roosevelt)....I'm confused - in the elevation I see Building G. It doesn't appear in the site plan though......? It looks to be where Townhomes 1 in the site plan are located.....any idea what's going on there?

Also, I'm curious - so Building D is part of the first phase - as are some of the townhomes, the park, and one condo building. Which condo building is it? Is it in the northern parcel (as D is) or the southern parcel? If it's the southern parcel, is it the building fronting Roosevelt?

Kngkyle · #**197** Posted **Oct 11, 2016, 4:12 PM**

So this is pretty interesting from Perkins + Will. Just conceptual at this point but they say "it could potentially be realized by the time of the masterplan’s final phases."

Townhomes 1 refers to the liner townhouses built around the base of Building G.

The freestanding townhouses would be a later phase...

Mr Downtown · #**199** Posted **Oct 11, 2016, 9:08 PM**

Yeah, I just talked to my source. The site plan in the PD may be out of date or misleading. I guess Building G is one of the two that's imminent, under the name Current.

this is not Ralph or any official P&W project... I suspect some kid in the office developed this... the project is clearly some fantasy and clearly reveals itself as such on some many levels I can't even begin to point all of them out...
