$40M building permit application submitted Oct 27

The speed at which this project is moving forward, particularly when compared to the drama, desperation and dysfunction of U City's Costco adventure, is both impressive and encouraging. I'm sure a lot of hard work and wrangling happened behind the scenes to put this Steelcote+Target phase together, but nonetheless, the contrast is stark. 

New rendering of Phase 4 “The Edwin”. This comes from the SLDCPlanroom.

Crazy how easy it is when you don't have to tear down a whole neighborhood first

Oh they tore down a whole neighborhood, just 70+ years before this got built.

Mill Creek Valley had 18,000 people living in it prior to slum clearance. It's going to take a lot more development to even get to half that number.

It will never get to 18,000 ever again, but 8,000 or so might be a good goal.

The site for this development isn't in the former Mill Creek Valley neighborhood. MCV's southern border was Scott Ave. (basically the area north of the tracks).

looking good!

Thanks for sharing.

It's a simple but interesting facade since it can look different depending on the angle.

^ definitely not high-quality, but it's pleasing to look at.

^Cancerous comments. Some people need a spanking.

Never read the comments. Ever.

Thanks for posting Dweebe.   Thought it was a nice well balanced local news report and took up Leife's advice..    The statement that hits home as someone w kids is at the end of the day your housing choice does come down to what you feel is educational choices, school district & where can you afford relative to school district or pay for private schools.  

An unexpected crane. A red base is in place for the crane at the Edwin (Steelcote Target).

Driving through this area you can tell it is really going to be special in 5-10 years.

The sidewalk at Steelcote Flats is done. It came out nice. Looking forward to more sidewalks showing up in the area.
