    Bad news: Matthews SW has apparently bailed on their hotel proposal. Good news: Truman is looking at incorporating a hotel into their Stampede Station site.

    So infuriating

    You are correct. They are going to do something similar to what Vesta is doing down the street.

    This is turning out well. Reminds me of a mogul run at Lake Louise :p

    Odds are good that it will double again in 20 years. It's getting to a critical mass now.

    I have seen the early renderings for this project. It's very ambitious and I have a feeling most people here are going to like it. It will be a significant improvement on the Cove buildings.

    The goal of the subsidy is to create housing in the downtown core. This in turn, increases property tax collections (relative to the amount being collected currently, which is based on land value). In this example, the Gov will recover their subsidy within ~5 years. We need more of this IMO...

    This might end up being better than any ground-up development Cidex has completed.

    They have set up some billboards on the site with the new renderings. It looks fantastic! The public realm treatment is the very good. Hopefully they don't VE the crap out of it. Will try to get some photos next time.

    I was at a game last year when one of those drunks puked on a child located one row in front of him. I would say we desparately need a kids section ;)

    It's too bad they didn't use this as an opportunity to open-up this part of the river for more user engagement. They could've taken a page out of the RiverWalk design, by stepping this area down towards the River. Something like this would've been great.

    I was wondering this too. Really glad to see that old rusty railing disappear!

    Well said. We complain when developers build bland boxes, so we shouldn't rag on groups like RNDSQR that are trying to provide innovative developments that come with a cost premium.They took a lot of design risk trying to do things other developers wouldn't do. They are still a young operation...

    Dear RNDSQR - please build 100 of these! Thanks

    Big improvement. The function took priority, but it still looks great. Lots of flexibility with the LED screen. I just hope they don't use it as a giant billboard.

    The drawings have been circulating for months already, so they should be far along in the process.
