This has bad written all over it. Bad site plan, bad mix of residence units, bad understanding of 21st century community, and bad effort on the developer’s part.
The 60 room hotel really surprises me! I also don’t understand what’s going on with the whole north side of the property. The three parallel roads make no sense.
Kind of a slippery slope between the sad state of Devington now and what apparently some describe as a shoddy and questionable developer. What do you choose? My family grew up around 42nd and Arlington and the area now, overall, is in a pretty bad state. The demographics and crime rate have changed to a point where you’re not going to get any high-end development, no matter how much you might want it. That would be a very tough sell. I DO wish the area the best. The current condition of homes in the neighborhood (including the old family home) is pretty disheartening, considering what we grew up with. Devington was a vital retail and business hub — even had TWO grocery stores. I appreciate that things change, sometimes hitting rock bottom before they start coming back. This area needs leaders, idea people and mostly, residents who really care. Again, good luck because right now it’s in a very sad state of despair and disrepair. I would think ANYTHING would be an improvement. Glad to at least see someone is involved and engaged.
You have provided an accurate assessment of that area, and the hurdles they would have to clear to expect any kind of decent future development.
What has changed with the residents such that they mostly don’t “really care”?
L D. Just take a ride through the area and look at the yards of the houses or disrepair of the houses, look at the amount of trash thrown out of car windows and littering the streets. The theft from what grocery stores they did have left causing them to close.
I seriously doubt it’s people from avon, castleton or the North side who’s coming down and throwing all the trash out on the street. It doesn’t matter if you’re an owner or a renter either you can still keep your yard maintained in a decent fashion.
Can’t get much better than David Rubin Land Collective. The site/project will be fantastic with them on board. I’m not familiar with “w/Purpose”, up their work looks good.
With a few tweaks, this looks like a big plus for the area. I’d be a YIMBY for this one!
