The Half (9000 Broadway)

It’s a pretty new development the apartments should help tie it together better. There’s a weird patch of a grass between the pickle ball place and the Dolese HQ. It’d be nice to have a building or a park there. Man that Dolese HQ is a beauty.

It's fine, but zero reason they couldn't have built that downtown, even on their existing land there.

Not everything needs to be built downtown.

I think Dolese decided Dolese wasn’t the best use for their downtown holdings. They assembled the 13th to 16th streets parcel over 20 years ago and considered themselves a steward of one of the largest undeveloped lots in the central city area. They needed more headquarters than what they had on 13th, but didn’t want to get into the northern lot.

I can think of many ($$$) reasons. Some of the existing buildings are over 100 years old and rehabilitation would be cost prohibitive. So would demolition. Much cheaper to start over on a clean plot.

Pete, next time you are flying the drone, take a look at the progress on the apartments on the north side of The Half.
Plus they finally installed some entry signs
