Another East Village Proposal

[ZYX]

I REALLY hope this project comes to fruition. At least the first phase. My favorite aspect of this project is the streetcar. I will believe it though, the day I see framing go up.

Article in today's T.World says TDA voted to enter into negotiations with Formaation LLC to sale the property at 2nd & Greenwood (the Hartford Building site).  Developer claims the multiphase project will start with a $74 million loft and retail development project.  As always with any announcement involving TDA and/or east end development - I will believe it when I see dirt being moved.

Interesting.  I didn't realize Ross Group backed out.  They were going to raze the Hartford building and build a new headquarters with over 50 jobs relocated from their current offices at Pine & 129th E Ave.  I wonder if they are still interested in moving downtown to a different location?

I sincerely hope not. They wanted two whole blocks of surface parking with their proposal! Not what we need.

Word is that Ross Group is going on the old Fields Down Randolph site.

Rumor.

[ZYX]

Is that in downtown, I've never heard of it. Sorry.

Thanks. Shockeeerrr, it's a parking lot.

Worse, it's a weed growing field - and not "medical" use weed, either.

Three nights work and some help from Councilor Henderson and we can modify that.

If the Ross Group decides to locate its offices on the old Fields warehouse site hopefully their building fronts Frankfort, 6th and 7th.  Their plan at 2nd & Greenwood was 60,000 SF on three levels with surface parking.  The area around 6th & Frankfort already has plenty of parking so maybe they won't add more.

I hope they recycled the bricks.

I hope they recycled the bricks.

Let me know how that works for you.

Let me know how that works for you.

Yeah, I was kinda thinking the same thing.

I have seen something on TV, probably "This Old House" where the bricks are chipped out of their mortar and reused rather than going to a landfill.  Might not be economical in this area.

There is brick recycling. Even in Tulsa.
