Is Fuqua planning to fund that?

Nope.  However, Fuqua's development is on the DDRB agenda tomorrow as well.  I've got its renderings and information set to run at midnight to serve as tomorrow's front page article.

Nice design. Solar panels on top. The canopy with lights directed straight down through the red canopy. How cool would that look at night.

So much better than the original design, which brought to mind the saying we hear far too often, "it's good enough for Jacksonville." Also, what a smart choice for a firm name for Dwell Design, I'm sure they enjoy the popularity of a certain magazine.

Much better design. Not to jinx it, but with all these new projects, it almost feels like it's morning in Jacksonville.

The DDRB is now reviewing this project.  My meter runs out at 3:49p, so I'm not sure if I'll be around to get the full discussion on the retail center.

Pollack Shores' most recent project was in downtown Orlando.  They say they design all of their projects specifically to fit within the surrounding environment.  Their core target market is Generation Y. The project's architect is also working on one of the infill apartment developments at St. Johns Town Center.

A representative from Dwell Design is giving the presentation.  When they took over, they said the Lincoln design was too suburban. So the first thing they did was kill the already DDRB approved Lincoln layout and start over by pushing all the buildings to the street, creating an urban street edge.

All buildings will be wood frame structures. Buildings closer to Riverside Avenue are 3 stories. Those closer to Park Street are 4 story. This is intentional because the site's elevation is 8' lower on Park than it is at Magnolia Street.

Ground floor units facing the streets will be designed to "spill out" into the street and adjacent sidewalks to increase the area's liveliness.

The amenity center will be on the top floor (roughly 45 to 50', excluding potential spires on buildings) to provide views of the skyline and river.
