Towers...now that would be cool to see!
Wasn't one of the runways out there an emergency landing area for the space shuttles in case of an emergency.

Looks like the lot to the right is at grade and starting to go above now.
The lot to the left, the house is gone, the site is fenced and Palazzo Developments signs are now on the site. 109 St just keeps churning stuff out with a lot more areas to develop.
Love to see it!

Agree that there's major potential here! And what's up with the lot directly north of this one? It's just been empty forever. Would love to see something happen

If I remember right, a year ago there was a development permit by the same guy who built the little strip mall north of the empty lot. Calls for a couple CRU's including a drive through, nothing fancy.
In fact an excavator showed up on the weekend and started digging, no idea if it's for the development or something else.

Was just going to say I drove by a few days ago and I saw a couple guys working on something in the lot just south of the strip mall.
It would be great to have it all developed even if just for more of the same strip mall. Pretty sure that corner lot has been empty since before the Save-On plaza across the street was built so it's been a blight for at least 25 years now

Yes it was. I was on it a couple of years back and it is loooong. They may bring it back, but there is a lot of building on the north end.

^That’s what happens when you get tank commanders planning things on a runway. ;-)

Not a style we needed more of. Blah.

The modern farmhouse styling is one of the better mass infill designs (better than MAXIMUM DENSITY BOX style we see on the real infill garbage) but yea this one looks incredibly imposing and the proportions seem awkward, like they took a two storey design and shoe horned in the first level.
Overall though, it could probably end up decent if built in a reasonable spot with the right landscaping.

I don't hate the idea, I just feel like it needs either more separated entrances OR a more unified, bigger entrance.

Top half = not horrible.
Bottom half (floor and a half) brutal.

I saw concrete trucks on site on my way home this evening, so they're starting!
Though I heard that the drive-thru is to be a dairy queen.
I cannot confirm nor deny although I trust the source.
