SW 104th near Penn behind Qdoba and carwash

[btmec]

Does anyone know what is being built near SW 104th and Penn behind the carwash and Qdoba beside Shadow Lake? I hope it's not more apartments but it probably is.

I found a PUD application for "The Colony at Shadowlake"
Duplex residential units

that's great... i'll take this (or even apartments) over more self-storage units any day of the week.

Agreed. This area is starting to get some density which is nice as hopefully we will continue to get some of the restaurant/retail groups that have overlooked this area.

I will second that. I really hate seeing that area get more developed. I remember being 5 years old and going to the Boy Scout/Cub Scout camp that used to be there in the mid-70s. The island and bridges are totally destroyed now from rot and erosion. I wish whoever owned it would have put some maintenance into the lake. When Shadow Lake and Southridge were still under construction, we went fishing on the island. The bridges were like new.

wow... i never knew that. i always assumed that the bridges were built around the same time as the shadowlake neighborhood and office park.

here are aerials from 1954 and 1969 where you can clearly see the bridges... like i say, i didn't realize that they had been there that long.

Was there a Scout camp here also? I remember Camp kickapoo but that is further out west near SW119th and Council. It has been there since the 30's.

I don't know if it's different but there is the John W Nichols Scout Ranch at SW 119th and S County Line Road.

now that one i'm familiar with... it's at sw 119th and county line and, as far as i know, is still in operation. i think they renamed it, though.
