Former Charleston’s -> Brazilian Steakhouse

I’m hearing this secondhand but it’s from someone who SHOULD know: the former Charlestons at 138th and Dodge is going to become a Brazilian steakhouse.

Re: NuStyle Owned lot NWC 20th/Farnam

Has NuStyle ever done new construction? 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. Ahh that’s right! I forg...

“Just run buses or shuttles.”

This. The intent should be to get people easily from the airport to downtown. There are not developable opportunities due to jails, homeless shelters, a lake, and airport property itself.

Re: Civic Square (former Civic Auditorium)

Personally I thought the Mercantile made sense too, but with grocery being a thin profit margin industry maybe the rent is too much? From elsewhere on the board, there is supposedly going to be something going in North Downtown. So the most likely contenders are the Civic Site and 16th and Burt-ish.
