Any income restricted units here? I probably know the answer to that one, but figured I'd ask.

There's a ton of posts for this and the other Greenstreet project in the New Life in the Grove thread, including updates on the zoning process (viewtopic.php?p=318941#p318941) Would it make sense to pull those updates out and into this thread?  Not sure if any Mods have that much free time on their hands!

No, at least not in the traditional sense of providing affordable housing for the city's lower-income population.  

When this initially rolled out there were going to be some 60% AMI income-restricted units, like the Adams Grove development involving RISE.... unfortunately that has been dropped, but a significant number of units will have rents targeted at "workforce housing." Not sure on the details for this project, but usually this translates into mostly young professionals that aren't lower income but may be priced out of a neighborhood with high market rate rents.  Sometimes these are just the smaller efficiencies, etc. that naturally will have lower rent than larger apartments, but it's possible tenants here will be screened for income.

Seeing this makes me even angrier that Drury is allowed to let those properties along Kingshighway deteriorate

I can't say much on this but can tell you it likely won't be that way for long. Hopefully I'll have more to say here soon.

This over-all project easily wins my award for Best Design, Mid-Size Infill.  

Love it! All of it!

When first announced, they said they'd unblock those streets.

Are there plans to re-open Swan, Norfolk, and Vista to Taylor, or will the cul-de-sacs remain? 

Yes, this is planned once everything else is completed.  All the streets should get a fresh coat of asphalt too.

Permit applications submitted

$3.8M 4447 Hunt

I'm a little confused by the orientation of this rendering. Is this view looking south? Is Terra going up just out of frame to the right? 

Also, are all these buildings going up simultaneously?

Union At The Grove to Break Ground Feb 1

I find it funny how everyone got the same Press Release and all stories are going out at about the same time. Now for the fun part, see what the reactions are from people on the Post and KMOV. Suburban residents reactions are what I'm waiting for.

I often get comments on my articles like "The CITY is DEAD" or "why would ANYONE live in the FAILING city", lol. They say that as home prices in the city skyrocket and multifamily occupancy is topped out at many of these buildings in the Grove by Green Street, for example

I didn’t see any equipment on site when I drove by earlier this evening, but they are in the process of installing some signage and renderings of the project at Vista / Newstead.
