Their group also includes Bill Gates’ investment firm Cascade, Gayle Benson, and ASM Global/AEG Entertainment.
The proposal also includes an 80,000 square foot music venue, a 12,000 square foot restaurant, and a grand public space called Water Square Park.
The other proposal had credible names attached. Curious as to why they were overlooked.
A outdoor music venue had zero chance of getting approved because the Garden District Association and Coliseum Square Assoc would have immediately torpedoed it. They did test runs with live music pre-Covid and the music was so loud you could hear it all the way to Simon Bolivar at 1 AM. Smart to kill that proposal.
I was curious though to see what the Domain Cos would have put together until they pulled out once they found out Lauricella had secured up real estate outside of the footprint.

I would have been fine with Domain Co winning this. They did well with South Market District and their proposal didn't look as grand as the other two but it looked much more realistic, especially as someone who has seen these "game changing" type projects fall flat on their face because they're just far too expensive to begin with. Joe Jaeger's trade district, which was the previously proposed convention center district on the same land failed because of this. Domain had also publicly named tenants they had brought on board like Alamo Drafthouse so I felt their intent was very promising.

Whatever happened to American Can Apts? Before COVID took over, the owner there, as the 10 year requirement for "affordable" rates was ending, tried jacking up the rents for those held apartments to market rates, and the affordable housing people lost their minds.
Never heard how that was resolved.

The mixed income residences around the city aren't as bad as a lot of people here seem to want them to be.
Evictions are pretty strict for violations. And the screening process is pretty good.

where? because this is what i read about mixed income housing coming from a 2019 article.
quote:
Altogether, more than 600 units of housing will be created, with 90 percent of them designated for residents unable to afford market-rate housing.
Thats still catered to 90% low income, not really a fair mix there.
quote:
LDG will build 312 new units. It will make 224 of them available at reduced rates to residents who earn up to 80 percent of the area's median income, offer 78 at reduced rates to residents who receive HANO vouchers and rent 10 at market rates to residents who don’t get any kind of subsidy.
And this.

Do you think it will be free housing?
Most of the restrictions have income and employment stipulations. Also, residents have to be approved. It isn't like Pookie can just live with his mom when he is 30. Any type of criminal activity is grounds for the entire family being removed.
The millionaires building this know how the game works. It is a risk, but necessary for them to get approval and use the land.

I know they get kicked out, but not rt away. i know this because i used to live across from one. And it also includes people who qualify for mental health reasons. So yeah, literally people that would go into a grocery store and shoot people.
And the break downs of the ones they built recently are mostly low in come. Not 60-40.
Yeah you might be able to find 10 people willing to pay the market rate in one of these, but 600 that will have to share with 400 low income? nah.

Prime riverfront real estate for a civil rights museum? That'll be a real tourist draw
quote:Its like they never learned their lesson from all the crime problems in the French Quarter because of the low income housing that was put within walking distance decades ago. Now they want to bring the same problem to the Warehouse district and convention center areas.

LOL
the inner city peeps aint gonna let that happen. they will cry gentrifying and racism. And local politicians will give in.
Luckily, you have places where they give no fricks, and let it get gentrified, and area gets revitalized. Many, they cry racism, and the politicians and money flees and folds.
There have been a million renderings of redoing St.Louis riverfront,etc. And only shite done was a patch of grass from old court house to arch grounds,(wank wank).
