It be great to see this project up, as well as Windsor Terrace. How does the community feel about the Mezzo now?

I assume that this switched to 100% apartment then? And that's about a 50% increase in # of units, and thus a lot of interior shifting about. Losing the 2nd floor office is fine, but curious if most\all of the larger units disappear? Really hope this project proceeds, it's been a long time coming.

Sounds like there's still some retail on the base of this I believe. Would love to see some updated plans.

^Good, lets see this go forward now.
I'm still hesitant. Their other project is currently a big hole in the ground. They better have all their ducks in a row before they dig another hole.

So there isn't a big hole in the ground, I don't think. Although unless I'm mistaken there isn't any construction either.

^ It's a sort-of hole, not a whole hole. It will be a Holy hole if construction ever starts here and I'd decorate it with holly this Christmas if started by this fall.

I think West Oak was working through the affordable housing component of the project earlier this year, so hopefully that is wrapped up now and they are looking towards construction.
Any chance you have details on their other project that was stalled? I can't find the thread at the moment, but it is interesting they would move ahead with this one given the other project's progress or lack thereof.

From what I heard, WestOak's most recent revision on this one (including revision to the affordable housing portion) had not gone well and when combined with the market, they'd essentially thrown in the towel on this development.
I guess never say never, but it sounded very much dead. Pretty disappointing.
