I'll be curious if you stand by that statement in ten years. I look at this project and I see a massive maintenance headache - it will be expensive to maintain anyway, but will take student abuse especially poorly. That older building in frame is almost indestructible and looks about the same now as the day it was built.I'd say when you compare it to the structure just south on 15th (in frame), we're getting something much better than what we had been for the decades after WWII.

Wait... Something looks wrong here... Only 4 stories? When are they going to build the tower behind it?

Can't predict the future, obviously. But I'll take a building that opens itself to the sidewalk at multiple points with doors and patios over a brick bunker with some glass surrounding the door. Dinkytown Rentals has a pretty big stake in the area staying desirable, and the Lodges they built 7(?) years ago still seem pretty nice from the street (IIRC from last fall walking to football games). But you're probable right, these will take a decent amount more work to maintain.I'll be curious if you stand by that statement in ten years.

Some stonework going in on the front entries and around the lower edge of the building:

Sorry for losing the top of the building -- it was shot out the window of a 3B bus.

I had to take a picture of this faux brick because it looks absolutely disgusting. Maybe it will look better once it is all installed? Please?!

So, in an interesting twist, this appears to have Bible verses plastered all over it.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. Do your best to come to me quickly,"
Uh okay.
Uh okay.

Oh, that's super strange.
Did anyone on this board ever live in any of the Lodges on 8th? If so, did they feature anything like that?

I have no problem with religion or references to the Bible, but yeah......wow -- very out of place! This developer must think they're "holier than thou"!"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

A little creepy, but it probably doesn't carry much more weight than Forever 21 posting John 3:16 on all of their bags.Wow that's creepy
