this buildings $17M renovation has started and they have rendering signage on the building and this base part is going to look every different and much better when its done. next time i walk by ill snap some photos of the rendering- its going to have a open patio on the corner facing the arch
^Great news and thanks for sharing. These "little" wins are important and play a critical role in rebuilding a dense urban fabric.
Would be great if they could improve the sidewalk level experience along Pine. But I'll happily take Chestnut improvements.

Another example of unnecessary, short-sighted destruction of vintage architecture. Twenty years from now they'll want to restore what they're destroying today.

^^ not sure i agree in this case. at present, street level interaction is nonexistent and it's poorly maintained. at best, when i've walked by this... whatever it is... i didn't even notice it. when i did notice it i couldn't help but think about what an ugly waste of space it is.
^Seems to me they could make it more "interactive" without completely destroying it's original character.
^ To be honest I don’t notice much difference between the image here and what I can see on a satellite view. The slanted “greenhouse” looking windows are gone...but I don’t see much difference than that.
When people talk about reclading the Mansion House, the UC Club Tower, the Sevens, etc...I’m right there with you. But I have to agree with the others here...

I think it's going to have a completely different relationship with the sidewalk. right now it's basically a 1-story tinted-glass obelisk. might as well be a blank wall. the redesign looks to have a much more traditional two-story form with "shoppe" windows. and as long as they're not tinted I think it it will create a much more inviting pedestrian experience.sc4mayor wrote: ↑Feb 17, 2021^ To be honest I don’t notice much difference between the image here and what I can see on a satellite view.

That’s what I’m thinking. There are plenty of shi*ty reclads in this town. This isn’t one of them...at least not yet.urban_dilettante wrote: ↑Feb 18, 2021I think it's going to have a completely different relationship with the sidewalk. right now it's basically a 1-story tinted-glass obelisk. might as well be a blank wall. the redesign looks to have a much more traditional two-story form with "shoppe" windows. and as long as they're not tinted I think it it will create a much more inviting pedestrian experience.sc4mayor wrote: ↑Feb 17, 2021^ To be honest I don’t notice much difference between the image here and what I can see on a satellite view.

As I recall, that area served as a retail banking lobby. Is that what it still is? Any indication that it's going to be opened up for retail storefronts? Is this anything more than a cosmetic "update"?
^ Also an excellent question. This was the old BoA tower. If we’re just getting some new windows and an upgraded banking center, Framer has a point.
If the base will be turned into more of an outward facing retail center...I’m still for the renovation.

I have never been in the 100 N. Broadway building but those slanted windows have the "tend to leak on a rainy day" look about them that may be driving this change.
Based on the number of exposed windows in the rendering located on the southeastern base of the main tower, and the angled walkway and patio space, it looks like they might be removing part of the two-story building.
FWIW, here's a construction photo that shows the structure of that area.

And here's a picture of a model from 1974 of the building as proposed:

^ It came out remarkably similar to what was proposed.
Put me in the camp of those not terribly offended by the remodel. Though it appears that the reclaimed sidewalk space gained by removing the greenhouse-style windows will simply be replaced by shrubbery, if the rendering is to be believed. I'm not seeing any retail-style entrances. The recessed balconies will at least help bring a sense of human activity to the pedestrian-facing walls, though, if they're actually used.

I peeked through the window this summer and noticed the space was almost completely unused. Granted it’s a pandemic but it was mostly empty apart from a few sparse tables and some spinning top chairs.

This one is in full swing already. Block is fenced off, some walls up on the interior.dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Feb 17, 2021Finally remembered to get a photo.

Renderings of the 100 N. Broadway atrium project are posted to the Trivers website. The project includes a cafe at the southwest corner.

Not happy about the destruction of the vintage architecture, but the corner café is nice.
Completely agree. The street presence along Chestnut had to be fixed but I would have preferred a much more subtle correction. The destruction of '80s architecture right now is no different than how the public viewed mid-century design in the '90s. There's a lot of cool postmodern detail around the landing that I'd hate to lose.framer wrote: ↑Jul 09, 2021Not happy about the destruction of the vintage architecture, but the corner café is nice.
