    I found the post that mentioned the timeline. Back in August, 2008, hood posted the development agreement to the forum.

    It stated that:
    Commencement of Construction of the Mixed Use Buildings shall be no later than fifteen (15) months from Completion of Construction of the New City Market, and the Completion of Construction of the Mixed Use Buildings shall be no later than sixty (60) months from the Commencement of Construction of the Mixed Use Buildings.

    A rendering and two different site plans for the Marketplace project:

    This is what I'm pretty sure is the current rendering of Marketplace, 5 floors of residential over ground floor parking with a nice atrium-looking area joining the two phases. I pulled this from a Youtube video with Gillespie discussing Marketplace.)

    This is an aerial site plan from the same video. I assume this is the most up to date site plan
    Marketplace2.jpg

    This is what I assume to be an older/alternate site plan I found on Studio Intrigue's website. It looks like the same first phase residential development but with an unattached office building in place of phase 2.

  • The video doesn't really offer any details on the project. It was just discussing the issue with the PLA the council was trying to impose on him.

  • I am looking forward to seeing the development going forward. I will be in the area soon and will be interested in taking a look at the site.
  • They have put in the foundation for the new sculpture near City Market. I think it's supposed to be unveiled in a week or two.

  • It's nice to see more statues/significant markings along the river trail. Will this block the ice rink idea though? Maybe there will be a way to incorporate this into a future ice rink.
  • I gotta get by there to see that. Looks good.

    Does anyone know when the new Rivertrail along the west bank is going to open?
  • Do they have billboards up on site that show the updated site plan at all?
  • Yeah, I agree, it really turns it's back to the riverfront and makes the playground back up to an office building :-/

    On a side note, can you resize the image to a more manageable size?
  • The photo link isn't working at all for me.
