Awesome news and more infill for MidTown!

[Pete]

Here are renderings of the proposed garage to be located just west of 10th & Broadway on the north side of 10th.

This is part of the TIF package that requires the Midtown Renaissance people to renovate the two buildings at 10th & Broadway (1101 and 1100) and the Marion Hotel as labeled in the second image.

Umm, what the hell? That's hideous.

[catch22]

That actually looks really cool for a parking garage....

Edit: LOL Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..

[metro]

Like. Also I believe you mean WEST of Broadway.

[Praedura]

Cools renderings. Well, parkage garages are never the most attractive structures in an area, but as far as they go, this one is not bad.

Of course, when it gets built, we won't have the lovely tall mature trees along the streetside giving a nice covering for the facade. What we'll get is 10 foot tall spindly saplings.

[HangryHippo]

1) What are the ridiculous looking slats just slapped on the facade?

2) Why do the people on the sidewalk all look like they're peeing on the garage?

[Pete]

The detailed design elements on the east elevation and the setback from 1101 N. Broadway seem to indicate there will be a courtyard between the two structures.

Perhaps something like what is being done between the Guardian and Packard buildings?

I don't think the woman on the left side in the green dress is peeing ? lol

[pickles]

I really like it.

[Pete]

Looking at the plans more closely, there will be a courtyard between the garage and 1101 N. Broadway but the garage will also be directly connected to that building at multiple levels.

I'll be very anxious to see who they get as tenants at 1101 and 1100. Both are awesome buildings with great store fronts and tons of potential.

Hopefully we'll see some plans for Hotel Marion soon.

Uhhh... Those flaps randomly all over the face of the structure scream "trying too hard".

I like the overall design, but these things sticking seem very odd.

[CurtisJ]

I know it would require a pretty significant rework of all of the buildings involved and might not be practical in any way, but I've always thought that the semi circle loading bay area shown here could make a pretty cool shopping/cafe area with several store fronts facing a common green area.

[Kokopelli]

Hate to be negative but the siding looks as though it was done by Stanford & Sons.. Yes those fine purveyors of salvageyard junk from the tv series.

For a building this size, under 6 stories tall and not an entire block long, on the street facing front why couldn't they put up a screen with a giant mural. Rather than hide the space with slats of junk and trees celebrate the space with art.

Goodbye free Frontline parking... this looks fantastic right next to one of the most beautiful buildings downtown...

[boitoirich]

Exactly. The area would look much better if the garage were directly across the street.

Way to be optimistic. You don't think they'll donate free parking to the church on Sundays? My guess is it will be a free parking garage anyways, especially for the tenants of their residential properties. This group is smart enough to know that ample free parking is needed to make their developments successful.

[BDP]

They should have put some small retail on he ground floor.

[HangryHippo]

I hope that whatever housing project they have planned on their recently acquired land on 10th St is designed to look a whole hell of a lot better than this garage.

[dankrutka]

They should have put some small retail on he ground floor.

Agreed. Why wouldn't they?

[sroberts24]

It's a garage! Chill out

[Pete]

Regarding street-level retail, there isn't much frontage on 10th, especially once you account for ingress/egress of cars and their circulation. This isn't a very big footprint for a parking garage.

10th is at the bottom of this ground floor site plan:

Garage plans are approved by the Downtown Design Review Committee.

An alley between the two structures is set to be converted to a landscaped courtyard featuring spirals from the Baum Building, a Venetian-style building that was torn down in the 1970s to make way for the Century Center Mall at Sheridan and Robinson Avenues.

In case anyone is not familiar...





I still think the cupola and finial belong in a museum. I'm assuming this is the cupola and finial at the Clarence Ford Park that's already falling apart?
