1501 Howard St

[iamjacobm]

TIF request for this building and the property associated with the below thread before the planning board. Curious to see what the plans are.

viewtopic.php?t=21237&start=40

1501 Howard is almost two blocks from the eastern end of the threaded development, curious how they are combined here.

The proposal is for 16 units at the 15th street building and 40 at the 18th street building all affordable. Some retail space on the street level as well. This proposal does not include the parking lot at 18th street.

Both of those buildings have been empty for a few years, I believe. Should help massively that they are affordable as well.

I hope this sparks the Flatiron District to redevelop again.

TIF did get approved by the council. Yet again, high hopes that hopefully more development is jumpstarted! Especially with a consideration from the Mayor for a 16th Street masterplan.

Interior work has started here.

Looking forward to seeing that ugly paint removed from the brick facade.

Wow! That’s a complete different look. Goes from a gross looking out of date building to one that’s actually pretty striking. A+

11 years in the making…can’t come soon enough!

Nothing really "new" but realized it was never posted.

There’s a fence around the perimeter now but I forgot I took these the other day…

I saw a post online signing completion of the apartments. I really wish it would’ve turned out like the earlier design. They need to get rid of all that paint on that brick on the exterior.

Well it seems they decided to stick with paint on the facade. It's been freshly painted with a darker shade of that puke color. I don't know if they ran out of money or it was cost prohibitive to restore the brick. It's disappointing especially considering they painted the rest of the building a bold sky blue. I mean they at least could've painted the front "brick" color like some of the O.M. buildings.

Looks great to see all the windows in there.

But that ugly blue east wall! What were they thinking?

This is now being marketed as "The Prescott".

Gotta love the AI in the link.

Because they were too embarrassed to show what it actually looks like?

That blue is on the west too. It basically wraps the building save the front facade. Had the front been finished in red brick like the rendering I think the blue would've been a nice contrast(and certainly better looking than that primer grey in the rendering). Unfortunately, now the blue dominates making the front look all the more drab. It's like the opposite of a homeowner with a conservative looking house paint their front door a bold color like red or blue.
