    That pool is going to be getting a depressing amount of sunshine.

    1) I can't really tell where the pool is going

    2) Pete, can you update Post #1 with the current plans, the ones there are all old plans. I think the first appearance of them is Post 162.

    This time of year, that might be a good thing. Every full sun pool I’ve been in this summer has felt like a hot tub.

    Looks like this building will be called “The Muse”

    No pricing for the units is listed on their website.

    Anyone seen pricing elsewhere?

    Why don't they put the pool on top of the parking garages? I have a condo in PV that has the pool on the roof and it's probably bigger than what they will build down in the atrium they created...

    That was the most annoying thing when I was apartment searching a few months ago. Usually it meant it out of my price range or should have been haha

    Those courtyard spaces sure are narrow. I lived in LEVEL for a spell and I think the smaller of the two courtyards was at least 10' wider than those. It looks like there's going to be a window of about half-an-hour either side of high noon when you get sunlight on the ground in there.

    My guess is somewhere around $2.25/sf. So a typical 2 bedroom around 1000 sf is in the low-mid $2000's/month depending on floor and views. Some of the larger 2 bedrooms likely pushing $3000/month

    The crazy part about this development...I live in an apartment complex close by and they are updating a building that had fire damage. Muse was planned, built, and almost open before my place finished the update. They are scrambling to get it done before Muse is finished. Insane how fast they are able to create that place!

    The black is the final facade.

    The yellow portions will be covered in a white material like to the right of the black portion shown above.

    The Haven? I lived in one of the units that was affected. I was super disappointed to move out because I liked it a lot. It's insane to me that we're going two years since the fire this coming March. I was told the units won't even be ready until Feb. 2023. It was originally slated to be done May 2022. It's also crazy to me that they'll be charging an arm and leg for rent in the renovated units. If it weren't for the fire, I would have been going on year 8 there. Talk about taking advantage of a negative situation.

    I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this property contains some affordable (rent-restricted) units. It is a fairly dull exterior but that's pretty standard for properties that contain affordable units. The proposed apartments across Shartel will likely feature better quality and beefed-up amenities.

    good designers can work within a tight budget. i understand not being able to afford brick or a more elevated material everywhere, but it's not that expensive to add a little bit of undulation or facade movement. this honestly just reads as lazy design.

    those paying reduced rent deserve to live somewhere nice too.

    Could you show an example of what you have in mind?

    I've been waiting for someone to say it first (because I didn't want to get all the rocks). Prime location, cheap design. It's better than a vacant land, but not so good for downtown 10 or 20 years from now, smh.

    I’m aware but I do appreciate the link. Architecture has been my main focus since before time began. I am more interested in what SpaceGuy is describing, specifically their term “undulation” and “façade movements.” Those are fairly self-explanatory, I just wanted to get a better image for what they envisioned and how that might look on a spot like this.

    Looks great - nothing extraordinary, but super stoked to see this part of town see some life.

    +1 for density!
