Windows are going in. Progress.

I see this building as a key bridge between A-Alley and the Plaza Court area.

Also, they're black framed. It looks sharp against the brick - a lot better than silver, imo.

Beat me to it!

Just noticed that today. I agree, the black will be nice.

Anyone wanna explain what the Packard building is (i.e., location). I've never heard of it...

Man, I drove by it this morning and last night and forgot to look. Suppose I'll have to make another trip over there later today.

I think it was just a few of the smaller, upper windows. I noticed it a couple days ago.

Are the windows going in on the lower level or the upper level or both?

This is the rendering. But I heard Banta was considering adding an additional 2 stories to it, but that was before he fizzled out.

Though there are better locations to locate a business in midtown, this building however, provides some of the best store fronts in the area.

Took these yesterday afternoon. From what I can tell, there are no windows in yet, just black or dark brown window framing on most of the top level.

Yeah, it's just the framing. But it's new!

I really love this building. Here's hoping that they get some really good retail tenants and NO office tenants. I think an independent book store similar to Full Circle could be huge in this location.
