At some point, is the developer not just going to walk away because of all this nonsense on Assaf's part? I'd be working with them to make sure what she gets is as nice as possible.

No, they are not going to walk away as they own the land and have spent a ton developing the properties to the north and south.

Just an annoyance that might delay the project somewhat.

I don't understand why so many remain this opposed to this development considering its quality and location.

Good lord... This NIMBY needs to get a hobby other than suing people... I'm not getting any younger, lady! I would kinda like to enjoy this development before I die.

There aren't many who do. Just this person who definitely does not represent the feeling in Glenbrook, NH or any area close. There are always people who love to try to control things. They just wind up costing people time, money and brain cells.

What is under construction in the area near Upper Crust? Is this the Ruths Chris Steak House? I wouldn't imagine this land is part of the lawsuit?

Just more retail space. No restaurants.

And the lawsuit was for the area just south of 63rd where they are planning an REI and a bunch of apartments.

By being a mess, does that mean you had to walk over 150 feet? There is plenty of parking, just not at the front door.

By mess i mean over half the parking lot is torn up behind a chain link fence, the parking lot is now only 1 way confusing multiple drivers and people having to dodge cars in the parking lot who are confused as to what is going on

Cos Bar is going in a space next to Rye 51 and Black Optical.

First location in Oklahoma. Most other locations in very high end areas: Highland Park (Dallas), Montecito (Santa Barbara), Vail, Apsen, Scottsdale, Carmel, Newport Beach, etc.

Two building permits for a total of $3.3 million for 5846 and 5854 N Classen, which falls into the Classen Curve area. I assume these are the new structures across from Upper Crust and that area?

Yes.

Too bad these new spaces didn't add residential on top of the shops. With Whole Foods across the street, Classen Curve could have been a pretty cool mixed use community for residents. I know residential is coming to the area though...

Press release today announcing several new tenants to go into the space now under construction:

Winter House is moving from Classen Curve to the vacant space directly west of Trader's Joes.

Basset is taking the old Winter House space.

Any updates on the Classen Curve lifestyle expansion that was supposed to include an REI? I haven't heard anything about it since about a year ago when it was receiving heavy NIMBY opposition.

I believe the lawsuit issues are being resolved and they still plan to move forward.

In the meantime, they are expanding Classen Curve, just about completely filling that center, and have done a great job of filling up NH Plaza as well. BTW, Winter House Interiors is moving from CC to the long-empty space west of Trader Joe's and Bassett will take the old Winter House space.

These guys know what they are doing and have already brought in a bunch of great new-to-market merchants.

They really are doing a great job. They've improved NH Plaza and Classen Curve and I'm really excited if they're able to work out the lawsuit issues.

[Pete]

Those issues will get resolved and that project will go forward, it's just a matter of time.

There has been some recent movement that may signal things may move forward soon, but you never know with these situations.
