Anyone here have a dog on go to BarK regularly? Seems like things haven’t cooled off as every time I go by during business hours the parking lot seem pretty full.

Went two weeks and the extra parking lot was full too. Good for them

Awesome about the multifamily. Hopefully the mixed use buildings on either side of this can be turned over in the near future as well. Blows my mind to see them lying dormant when retail rents on at strip of Manchester are so high

The building to the east of this parcel is some type of police headquarters. The building planned for the 3rd story addition is occupied residential on the second floor; the first floor was once planned to be a froyo shop and now sits partially renovated. And the building to the west of it is used for somebody's band practice, from what I've heard while walking by.

The zoning-only permits were submitted in Feb and Apr. I've been in contact with the developer, but they're not ready to share details.

Have to say - I'm pretty excited for this Narwhals - should be a lot of fun for the Grove.

Seven apts in the new building, 4 studios in 4216 which gets a 3rd floor addition.
I think the color of the new building's brick is tan, but not sure from the suboptimal image.

Solid proposal. In my dream world, they'd use some like-colored terracotta brick tiles like this, but I know that'll never happen.

^^I like it. The angled projection is an especially nice touch.

^Alexis, yeah, that would absolutely rule. Wish we could still get quality brickwork like that. We need bricklaying robots and skilled masons to make them do interesting things. (And add in arty details.) Get some real load-bearing masonry again.

I wish glazed brick like this was used more. In London, I saw beautiful examples of white, dark green, lighter green, and dark blue glazed brick used on new buildings, and they all looked fantastic. Really added some much-needed color variation in their neighborhoods, but it was tasteful.

Primary example from the SoHo area. Good scale, nice color. Google maps shows this was built from 2017-2018. Address is 40 Beak Street if anyone wants to see how it fits into the old neighborhood a bit.

I'm definitely really excited for this project and think I'm going to love the impact it makes on the area, but it is kind of lame that this building that looks like a ship, complete with a pulpit and all, is essentially sailing straight toward a gas station with a generic-looking bank and White Castle to its port and starboard.

Narwals is cool and everything, but 4101 Manchester would have been the real game-changer IMO:

Something absolutely has to be done with that lot. I don't care if it's a project that big or not. It's screwing up the entire neighborhood and its walkability the way it is now.

4210 Manchester was received positively at last night's Forest Park Southeast Neighborhood Association meeting. Next up in the review process for that one is a stop at Tina Pihl's new development committee, which meets tomorrow.

No new images or anything to share yet. I was provided the same set of images and plans that Richard has in the NextSTL story on this project. The only thing that could be considered new is a general site plan showing the building with the addition is "phase 1" and the new building is "phase 2". I attached that here.
