Well heeled (we’re guessing) Uptowners may have a new option for housing in the near future. According to the Southwest Journal, Local developers Stuart Ackerberg and Clark Gassen have proposed a 12 story, mixed-use development to occupy the parking lot behind the old Walker Library building. The developers have promised to "minimize the visual impact" of the twelve story condo development which also will include green space, retail/restaurant space, a five story office complex, an expanded Lagoon Theater, and below ground parking. No word on when the condos will be going on sale, but it could be soon – they plan to break ground (pending, of course, local zoning approval and ring kissing) as early as May.
Also notable is the proposed design – in that the 12 story structure is "twisted" to minimize the shadow it would cast on the adjacent greenway. Anybody have any artist concept drawings? We’ll keep you updated as this develops…
