"New" development proposal for a 6 story apartment building known as "Residence at Discovery Square". I believe this is what was once known as the Third Avenue Lofts 150 residential units, 20,000 square feet of commercial space, and underground parking I'm not sure how I feel abo...

I don't know if I'm more excited about that or the Chick-Fil-A being built right now

Some interesting quotes from the Post Bulletin today regarding the development boom in Rochester. This one is on the apartment construction in the city Apartment projects began to go up throughout every quadrant of the city at a rate never seen before in Rochester. In late December, the city was on ...

Apparently demolition has started to make way for the new tower!

Apparently the name of the building has changed from Broadway at Center to simply being "Hilton". Cost estimates haven't been revealed since the scaled-down tower was announced. No cost estimates for the project were releaset. The most recent incarnation of the project was estimated to cos...

Titan Development and Investments announced Friday that it has reached an agreement to develop the project with Harbor Bay Real Estate Advisors. Crews are expected to begin clearing the site by the end of the year. http://www.themedcitybeat.com/news-blog/2016/construction-downtown-hilton-to-begin-r...

No problem! Happy to see this project is moving forward and in a timely manner

Construction is to start no later than the spring of 2017 and be finished by Dec. 31, 2018, per the terms of the development agreement approved by the city.

The final development plan passed the city council vote 7-0 tonight and the $10.5 million requested in TIF was approved!

True. I think the first announcement in the paper was summer of 2013, but it traces back all the way to the Time Square project from the late 1990s. I thought Times Square is what Titan submitted for their bid on the Broadway Plaza site? Anyway, the Broadway at Center project was approved several y...

Wow, now that would be something. Not holding my breath, as this is a song that's been sung more than once by Titan.

Some good, but not unexpected news, for the Alatus project today! The project has won approval from the DMC Board. Board members adopted a resolution recommending the development move forward as a public infrastructure project, allowing it to quality for $10.5 million in DMC tax increment financing ...

The Buckeye (Flats on 4th) is well under construction and they post updates to their Facebook page from time to time. They were also supposed to be working on the Miracle Mile redevelopment, but pulled out of it. Not sure who's going to be handling that now... As for the rest of their projects, they...

I just got back from this. The second project (Heart of the City) was denied just before 11pm. The reasons for it, I couldn't even tell you. A few of those Z&P members just talk themselves into circles. Really... It said on their page that it was approved. Oh well, life goes on. I want to say t...

Some more information and images regarding the Opus/Titan development. The project is still 6 stories, 156 units. They're proposing 9 new street stalls for parking, as well as 158 underground and a bike valet (whatever that is). Gross square footage of the building would be 238,717. Outdoor amenity ...

The Heart of the City North is now at 17 stories tall instead of 16 as previously envisioned. The owner of the property has hired and applied for demolition of the current Days Inn building. Planning and Zoning will review the project tomorrow and the city council will address the project in January...

My god the comments are just hysterical to read, "The beginning of the end of this once nice suburb"... RIP Arden Hills, it was nice knowing you.

Anyway, I think this is fantastic news!

Riverwalk Downtown City Apartments passed the city council vote. TNC ordinance passed as well The city council voted unanimously Monday night to approve a new ordinance regulating transportation network companies (TNCs). The decision, which follows months of public debate and testimony, still requir...

Some information from the PostBulletin. One new aspect of the plan revealed Wednesday was a request by the developer to build it under a staged, two-phase development schedule. The schedule would allow the developer to demolish some parts of the site while working on other features. The staged sched...

Wow, good to know. Thank you for clearing that up! I find it interesting how their staff recommendation language varies so much depending on the project, which makes it hard to decipher if a project actually got the recommendation of approval or not. Do you know if many people turned up from the Fol...

So the person I talked to about it said it passed, however they didn't directly state recommendation of approval as they did with Miracle Mile and the Riverwalk Downtown City Apartments... the finding is stated as follows... The project proceeds on to the City Council based on findings and with cond...
