I just found this picture of a newly constructed in the Czech Village area of CR. It looks amazing. They did a great job, almost looks like they renovated an old building. We could use a few of these in our downtown.

So, if the HPA ultimately razes the Specht, Alvine, and HHC, suppose that they could design the faces of their parking garage in a similar fashion, and use the facade of the Specht accordingly...

Very cool. Good infill for some of the surface lots and other under-utilized spaces downtown....could increase the size and take it 6-8 stories and fill-in some of the ConAgra campus.

Do you happen to know the price tag for that project?
It does look very nice.

I am surprised it is only $4 million. To put that into perspective, the 3 story building in the Old Market that houses Plank, Little King and Juice Stop was $4.7 Million.Developers of NewBohemia Station will break ground Friday for the $4 million mixed-use building at 1028 Third St. SE in Cedar Rapids.
The four-story, 14-unit apartment building, next door to NewBo City Market, will have first floor retail and second floor commercial space. The third and fourth floors will have one- and two-bedroom apartments, each equipped with a balcony and washer and dryer.
Here is the rendering for the finished product.

Hope the Dundee project looks this high quality.

This is in an area that was damaged a lot by the flooding in 2009 or 2010.
For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!
