    Looks like they are going to be firing up two larger projects in addition to everything else they have going.

    That looks a lot like the Packard Building before it was renovated... Hope it turns out as well as the Packard Building did.

    This is the one where they are trying to close the alley between it and the Packard and make it a courtyard.

    I believe their plan is for at least one restaurant in this space, plus of course lots of offices.

    Default Re: Midtown Update!!

    So has all of the retail space been relegated to strictly restaurant focused?

    Default Re: Midtown Update!!

    They had said earlier they wanted to keep a balance between rental units, offices, restaurants and retail.

    I believe the plan is for some retail in this building but of course, they would have to find tenants.

    Thanks, I was just thinking that between this and the Packard it would be nice to have at least one real store instead of 2 or 3 restaurants and multiple offices.

    More information on the Guardian project, just north of the Packard Building.

    Looks like two retail / restaurant spots on the first floor then lofts (assuming rental) for the remainder.

    You may remember the parking lot to the west is going to have types of cool screening and landscaping. With the closed alley, there will be outdoor seating for any restaurant(s) and a nice connection / plaza back to Hadden Hall (with a newly terraced back garden) and that parking.

    $3 million building permit today for the Guardian...

    Looks like this project will soon be under way!

    Totally new roof going on this building-all of the metal has been stripped off.

    great news

    Default Re: The Guardian

    I agree. I go past it everyday and other than the new glass, which was pre-permit, this and the masonry work is the first real progress.

    Great to hear the progress of this.

    BTW, the parking facility next to the garden is uber-cool at night with modern, orange glowing accents and landscaped lighting. Definitely the best looking carport I've ever seen. I'll grab some pics on my way home tonight.

    Please get some from Robinson looking up through the roof. That is cooler

  15. Default Re: The Guardian

    The car park really is kind of a cool take on the traditional parking lot, and that is already finished.

    Photos please!!

    This is going to be such a slick little grouping of projects.


    I just can't say enough nice things about Brian Fitzsimmons (architect) and the Midtown Renaissance group.

  17. Default Re: The Guardian

    I also really like the art gallery right across Robinson, too. I don't remember that property always being fixed up??

    Looking up through the roof is really cool.

    Not really sure what is going on here. It looks like the wall was fixed with the steel beams at one point. This whole has been open for a while. The bricks were individually painted brown at one point or all of the masonry was replaced. Either way this will not be the final color as the replaced bricks are unpainted.

    Default Re: The Guardian

    Im curious about the final color of this building because of all of the painted brick and colored brick.

  20. Default Re: The Guardian

    I have a feeling that the brick on the south facade facing the Park Place alleyway is finished, so a darker red in the back, with more of a brown tan in the front. But either way MidtownR will probably be following historical precedent considering that is how they operate.

    The really interesting thing is that at least at night especially, I would say it almost substitutes nicely for having an actual building front Harvey. This is really cool.

    Do you suppose we could get some Bricktown parking lot operators to go for something like that? LOL
