I will be curious how much downtown or eppley got bc it was pretty steady since midnight with some heavy bursts on the east side of town.

A 587 foot office tower with 1.4 million SF in downtown STL just sold for $3.6 million or $2.57/SF. It sold for as much as $205 million in the early 2000s. It is assumed there is some undisclosed debt being assumed in the deal, but that is still such a crazy number for an office block. Essentially t...

The office buildings were sold in March to Blue Owl a private equity firm out of New York for $130 million. It appears they do sale leaseback deals so might not mean Gallup is vacating.

I guess they aren’t all that concerned about the fires bc a decent size firework show just went off on the CB side of the river.

Not quite sure if this is the location but I saw an announcement online this week for a 5 level 28 unit Leavenworth Lofts building, featuring a ground level art gallery, and 1000 square foot 1-bedroom units. The top level penthouse units will have a secured entrance and rooftop terraces. Lower floo...

They need to move all the utilities under the streetcar tracks, can’t dig down and fix anything when that is installed.

Thought: Omaha was scheduled to host the MLB draft when it was cancelled in 2020. I have often wondered when/ if they would go after that event again? I think at the time it was scheduled for the Holland but it would not surprise me to learn that hosting the draft might require a war room/ meeting ...

Us young kids are nostalgic for Tilt at Westroads not Gizmos. (Joking, anyone under 30 probably has no idea what Tilt is)

iamjacobm

This was proposed approximately 2 years ago and still nothing has happened. I see that 30th and Leavenworth now has a proposal. Is this site still planned to happen? Its hard to tell when a project dies. Usually only 3 real ways to get an "official notice" its dead. 1. The property is put...

Same developer in front of the planning board for a Planned Unit Redevelopment on the lot directly east of this. I would assume another affordable apartment building.

I thought this was one of the more exciting things the mayor talked about. Looking into it, based on the assessor's site, I think Nustyle owns all of this at 20th and Farnam: https://i.postimg.cc/YG9WkDQR/Nu-Style-20th-and-Farnam.png This is a fairly large property downtown. It's a little over 2 ac...

Aside from the State Office Building lot, I think this is the most pitiable spot in downtown. This is begging for something decent across from The Rose.

Highline phase 2 and they are finishing a new build on 24th and Howard right now.

iamjacobm

I didn't get a picture as I was driving by, but there were some old railroad ties and rusty rails piled up on the NE corner of Saddle Creek and Leavenworth by the QT which I assume is from the old streetcar tracks they paved over decades ago.

iamjacobm

Wood framing is going up so this will pop up pretty quickly now.

iamjacobm

NuStyle is arguably the developer with the most influence on the livability of downtown outside of the Mercers (I am excluding corporate HQs). They have already delivered thousands of units in essentially functionally obsolete buildings. Plug in a couple hundred they are finishing on 24th and 700 he...

Splitting threads here, but this is going to be called The Duo. The website is just a splash page.

Everyone looking for a good rain should be enjoying this one. No thunder, but had been consistent rain for a while now with a few more sustained hours to go. Wondering if it's going to run past that half inch mark b/c it's been decently heavy downtown at times.

Woodbury is a very legit group. Them being involved gives me more optimism.

Also I know the increased TIF will rub a lot the wrong way, but I believe the % of the total project being funded through TIF is lower in this proposal. From ~14.3% to 11.4%.

Looks like Block A and C are not listed in the renderings, but already looks better! Block E (center square) is about what I expected. 1-1.5 story of retail with park-oriented square in the middle. I made the reference to Celebration Pointe in Gainesville, FL previously. It reminds me a lot of this...

It looks like it's still for sale from when I googled early this morning on Colliers. Maybe that info is outdated? Could be in their due diligence period.

Its time to re-thing that whole restaurant space. They need a cozy little lodge bar and grill up front that is closed off from the massive buffet and dining room.

This is too bad. Usually a fun weekend and was looking forward to seeing what it looked like downtown. Saying they want to come back for 2025, but I can't imagine attracting sponsors gets easier after taking a year off.

KC seems like the more obvious choice, but there is only so much market share in one market spread across all of its professional teams. KC, which is a relatively small market, may be at their limit with the 3 teams they have. I'd be curious to hear how having multiple pro sports can cannibalize a ...
