Wheeler District

Yeah. I have no idea how they're going to legitimately draw big development to C2S.. a mega church isn't going to build downtown anytime soon.

I think new single family homes and townhomes, along with the urban apartments and condos, will be appealing to many people. There won't be really anything else like it so close to downtown and in the center of the metro.

This area sits in a hole, It becomes a lake whenever it rains.They could have very easily taken dirt from the crosstown project and elevated that property. Did they ever correct the drainage issues there

Reno, I don't know if any work has been done on drainage but I'm sure the owners are well aware of any issues about that. I also suspect that using dirt from a public project to benefit a private area isn't that easily done without a substantial cost in buying the dirt. I'm not an engineer and have no idea what is needed but that had been a cost effective solution they probably would have considered that.

It really depends on the project, if they are paying for storage of removed fill, then they can stipulate in the contract to relocate the fill to a private location as a no cost way of fill removal. In most cases ODOT stores the fill elsewhere for use on other projects, that is why there was the big mound for a long time around the I-44/I-240 interchange.

As city streets and storm drains are the core of large scale rain/flood water collection and removal for an area I doubt a little dirt on top of the properties would be that effective. Dirt work could help with flooding on an individual property in as much as get water into the storm drain system or elevate properties more from the street (partial solution at bet as you then may have block islands), it will have little affect on the entire area flooding. Some real work on the streets, inlets, piping and/or outlets removing water from the area may have to be addressed.

Deep Deuce? Mid-town? Arts District? Heritage/Mesta? Bricktown (if housing ever gets going there)? I don't understand what makes Core2Shore "unlike anything else."

Those districts offer higher density urban living. Core to Shore, in theory, offers more traditional neighborhood development with single family homes and townhomes. There will be nothing like it on that scale in any of the other urban districts and nothing else like it in the metro offering new homes and entirely new neighborhoods adjacent to the downtown core.
