Renders are nice. Design is decent and simple. I hold caution though that materials, windows and slenderness of details will get value engineered down. The wood structure better make it.

Wow I’m quite impressed with this actually. I’m glad to see that it got approved. Now they just need to build build build.Full resolution renders (at least on my phone 🤷🏻♂️)

Looks good. Fingers crossed this goes ahead.

Noticed that Fishman's has moved next door to the building on the corner of 5th Street. Could this mean that this could be starting soon?
It would be great to see the Fishman's lot developed. The other lot I would love to see redeveloped is this one. With Amato Gelato now on the NW corner of the intersection, the intersection has became super busy, but is dampened by the crappy strip mall across the street. Even the Shell gas station provides more vibrancy.

I couldn't agree more! This corner bums me out. It does nothing for such a prominent corner of 17th ave. I hope this lot gets developed soon!

I feel like Purr moved out of there 5 years ago and that CRU has yet to be filled

There used to be a 7-11 there back in the day. I’d be happy seeing it back, but seeing it being bulldozed would be the best solution.
They ruined it by having parking out front and the worst part is it only parks a lousy 8 or 9 cars. 😕

An enormous brewpub with an enormous patio would be perfect in that spot. Screw the parking.

Good news bad news, Fishmans might be going ahead, but apparently we’re stuck with that ugly strip mall for a while

It's on the shady side of the avenue, across from lively, sunny patios at the Ship and the National. So I'm not sure how well that would work out.

If the building was2 levels with a patio in place of the parking lot’s footprint, but on the 2nd level it could work nicely. It would allow for a retail on 17th and also sun on a patio which would overlook the intersection.
Patio’s definitely work better in the north side of 17th but businesses still work well on the south side.
