Urban Development and Proposals Discussion

Are we losing the downtown hostel for an assisted living facility? Not a new development, but changing the hostel use to an assisted living one? While the past year was no doubt very hard on the hospitality sector, I can't see this as being a way to add vibrancy to East Village:

Is it even open anymore? I was working in the east village last week and was wondering about it while waiting for the light to change.

Yeah, I think a few heads will explode when redevelopment of the plaza begins. Honestly I hope it forces people to reconsider driving and they walk more.

Sorry for the terrible photo. I was out for a walk this evening and saw that there is signage up for the proposed RNDSQR building that will fill the remainder of the block next to Courtyard 33.

I like that they’re trying to activate the block’s alley.

And one other land use of note, down in Mahogany. Jayman has plans for a Westman Village 2, albeit a bit more scaled down from the first one.

Too bad but not surprising, there's a lot of units in the core being built, I suspect it'll take a few years for the inventory to get absorbed

 

[UrbanWarrior]

Not surprising. It'll likely get pushed back at that point too.

That RNDSQR proposal looks great! How long till it gets appealed? that angry lady posting about the CY33 project is going to get more "unwanted neighbours" lol.

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but there's a new land use application in Bridgeland

Remember when we were concerned about Reds Diner on 4th street being demolished?

That is the plan for the site, and hopefully it stays that way. I hope that they built facade retention of Red's into the DC district to ensure they don't get the density and decide to demo the red's building for the DP application.

Too bad about the little apartment building next to Red's, but at least it looks like Red's is staying.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

I don't mind that the little building is going. More active frontage on Fourth is a good thing. The Reds building has that, the apartment building does not.
