This blurb is going to appear with these projects:
With more and more EV vehicles hitting the market and more in the future
where is the EV charging stations?  Why dont these projects have an EV charging area?
Maybe they do and I didnt look close enough?
If these developers included one or more seems to me it would be a great selling point;
because potential residents are going to ask "Where is  the EV charging"?
FWIW I live in a historic condo building. One of my neighbors recently bought a Tesla. He was able to get a personal car charging unit set up at his parking spot. I would presume that other EV manufacturers (Chevy, Nissan, BMW, etc.) have such small charging units supplied with each car sold. Therefore, so long as the building itself can provide for each tenant to have their personal charging units set up at their designated parking spot within their garage, they should be able to fulfill this need without building EV parking units themselves, as well as not having to make sure that the EV stations they could have provided would already have the specific chargers needed for each EV manufacturer. Basically, if this can be done in a historic building rehabbed long before EVs were a consumer option, it should be readily available in new buildings already. Just a thought.

Is the electricity common or did they tie it into their condo's electric service?

How would you even do the latter, unless the parking space just happened to be near the meters?

I'm not certain exactly how they did this, but I was told that they had done this. 
Perhaps the Tesla charger itself can give a readout on how much electricity it used over a certain period of time? I don't know, pure guesswork.

Supposedly the first residents will move in by the end of the month, but that seems like a stretch.

Feels almost like we got our big city pants on.  Thanks for the photos.  

I think this building is going to turn out pretty well, despite the stick frame construction and long blank walls on the streetscape.  The combination of single-story corner retail with the half-recessed courtyard above will add a lot of visual candy to that corner.  

Maybe there is hope for Lux Living.  They don't have any retail track record though, so I hope they can land a retail tenant that can do that space justice...

415 DeBaliviere is for sale for $5M. Includes the parking lot next door.

Looking good. There will be a solid lineup of Central Corridor projects wrapping up in the coming weeks (this, AC Hotel on York, 4440 Manchester come to mind). 
Any signs of life across the street? 😬

the Hudson is a year long cooker cutter building that is an overdue blockade of the only true thoroughfare for Debaliviere/CWE Metrolink transfer station..!! Pershing Ave. is a snow route and 100's of riders who cannot walk have had NO BUS for a YEAR..SHAME on LUX LIVING. I have to walk .6 miles to the train and .4 miles to Union bus.All with a healing broken leg. I walk 80% slower and in pain. This is 2-4 times a week! Metro is doing nothing to hurry them up! Inexcusable. Debaliviere and Pershing corner is the most important line for residents.! it is all corrupt. I WANT A DATE OF THE REINSTATEMENT OF the NO.1 NORMAL ROUTE!!!!!!

This is a good criticism of this project. I can’t understand why Lux Living was basically able to shut down traffic at such an important intersection for a year.

Why were they allowed to? When has the City ever said no to such a request?

It's getting close. The sidewalk along Pershing has been poured.

I saw the bus go on its regular route on Pershing yesterday, I hope that remains the case.

There's some air vents near the sidewalk on the north and east sides of the building that are way too loud. Super annoying.
