Very nice. Any word on the schedule?
Although, it looks like they are encroaching into the utility/transit corridor that runs along the west side of Riverside Avenue. At the very least, they've put trees there, if not their buildings. Or does that corridor not go all the way to Forest?

The transit ROW does go to Forest. They are encroaching on it but if the skyway were to be extended, it would be elevated.

Awesome, I love the vision. Now implementation is something the city isn't so great at. I've mentioned before, round table meeting with developers of 200 Riverside and other investors, developers, people who still have money, and lets get it built. Make them apartments, not condos. Put me on the list to move in right away. The location is perfect.

I never thought I'd find myself looking forward to improvements being made to a retention pond, but it certainly looks better than what's currently there.

That will be a nice, beautiful, and a much welcomed addition to that area. I hope some or all of the other proposals and/or approved developments for Brooklyn come to fruition soon. Would love to see that portion of downtown start to thrive, especially with residential property/development additions.

^^ Ditto. I would like to see a little less hardscape and more grass though. Otherwise, it looks good.

There's still plenty of room in Brooklyn. Keep hope alive.

I knew something was up when a week or so back I saw men with large blueprints and cameras were at the location. You'd almost think Jax is about to come out of the recession in some locations.

This looks okay - certainly better than the status quo. However, seeing Hallmark Partners' Logo on it tells me it is tied to 200 Riverside. I'm holding my breath waiting for THAT to happen.

I think the park proposal looks great. Even better is the continued talk of the 200 Riverside project. Maybe, just maybe, if this project breaks ground we may be hearing of the return of Brooklyn Park.

Why do all designs from the office of Rink look like buildings I have already seen in advertisements in Architectural Record? Do they have any originality in that office?
