Re: 700 Washington & Third Apartments/Hotel
Zenith is a quarter block with 65 units and 9 stories. The Aloft next door is a half-block with 155 rooms. Granted the apartments in the new proposal likely won't be the size of Zenith's condos, but I'd expect a good-sized building for the area if they are using a half-block. Maybe in the 10-story ...

Re: Mill & Main - (501 Main Street Southeast)
The parcels facing Main St. are split between Doran (Mill & Main) and Dominium (A-Mill properties).Oh, I thought 5th was gone. Any idea on the ownership? This whole block looks pretty interesting.

Re: Mill & Main - (501 Main Street Southeast)
It's laid by hand, as you can see in one of my previous posts: They've started the stonework on the two-story townhomes (area under the pool area). http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8341/8192831431_f32c76946e.jpg Mill & Main by dmd.hashw , on Flickr http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8205/8193918606_7b6e...

Re: Izzy's Ice Cream Factory
Speak for yourself. I love doing factory tours.At the same time, it's a factory, so probably not a great view for pedestrians. Unless they have it set up like a Krispy Kreme shop It will be made up for I think. Love it.

Re: Ward 3
It would be nice to get some more people from the under-60 crowd onto the council. I don't know too much about either person to weigh in on who would be a better candidate though.

Re: Vikings Stadium
Interesting to see that they kept those LTR station arches in these renderings. I recall someone being concerned that those would go away with the new stadium.

Re: Loring Vue Apartments - (415 Oak Grove Street)
Setting up showrooms?I'm 95 percent sure that people have moved into this. Which doesn't make sense, because the garage part isn't open and the only complete-looking door I can see is a little side door. But there are lights on and furniture in the units of the upper levels.

Re: Mill & Main - (501 Main Street Southeast)
There's an abundance of vacant retail throughout the Main St. area. I recall one of the aims of this project was to add bodies to the area, making some of those spaces viable again.Still no retail in phase II?

Re: Mill & Main - (501 Main Street Southeast)
Is phase two for this supposed to go on Main Street, between this and the A Loft building? Or would it go behind this? It'll be on Main Street. They've already done some demolition of additional buildings in preparation of construction. Here's some info I posted about it earlier in the thread: http...

Re: Physics and Nanotechnology Building
Copper is somewhat expensive, yes, but the thefts have more to do with the relative ease in which to "aquire" and sell it.I guess I don't actually know how expensive it is, but I figure it's not cheap if it's getting stolen all the time.Is copper more expensive than brick ?

Re: Nic on Fifth - (455 Nicollet Mall)
Ahh, got it. Fair enough. Seems misleading though as it implies that no high-rise construction has occurred. They could equally say: "this is the 5th high-rise residential tower built in the last decade downtown." (It is 5, right? Grant Park, Skyscape, Carlyle, & Ivy were the 4 built ...

Re: SimCity
The real problem with the new version is the city plots in the region have swaths of empty space between them yet the "cities" are only 2km x 2km. There is no way to make vast mega-regions. The best you can do is a few dense blocks surrounded by undevelopable greenfield. Until they releas...

I think it was the mismatch of the new and existing brick that was throwing everyone off.Didn't everyone act like the rendering of this building was the Antichrist? It looks fine.
