I would also expect that the graduate programs and RELLIS will continue to grow even with an undergraduate freeze on increasing enrollment.

From the Northgate Small Area Plan Meeting, below are Northgate mid-rises. Yellow are complete or projects under construction (including the old Harry's location and the tower at University and Wellborn). The four in orange are in permitting phase but have not started construction yet.

Fifteen complete or under construction, and four more in permitting. How many more do we need? (Honest question.)

That just makes me sick to my stomach.

I trade it all Pooh's Park! Bring back the 70s!

Good catch

Northgate needs a grocery option asap

Article talking about EVER and VERVE.

From this week's Zoning Board of Adjustments meeting, there will be a request to approve a second, short-term crane for the project at 201 Boyett, so it looks like that project will start moving soon. This is the closest to a design plan that I have seen so far.

The 203 Church Ave project by Rountree is going to be called The View at 203.

The new Parallel development at 201 Boyett (official address now being listed as 250 Church Avenue) is up on the Parallel site. Parallel is the developer behind The Rev and Otto.

Construction is expected to be completed in the summer of 2027 and the tower will have 500 beds.

I was hoping some of the projects would have a camera to view. Thanks for sharing!

What do you consider the entertainment district?

To me losing Hurricane Harry's is the biggest entertainment loss. The bar scene still exists, not sure how often they have live music there.

I'd really like to see a music venue and dance hall type place be incorporated into whatever redevelopment eventually happens in the parking lot space currently owned by the city.

Student dive bars and dance places - what has always made Northgate a college scene.

That isn't what made North Gate a college scene in the first place. It was originally much broader, serving as the town's commerce, religious, and [to some extent] entertainment center. Every church was there (I think only about three are left--the rest have relocated elsewhere in town), there were numerous retail stores, and there were two movie theaters. Nowadays, it remains a college scene due to having the highest density of off-campus student housing anywhere in town. Times change.

Now THAT is some revisionist history! Even into the 1990s there were several normal businesses with most of the bars only being between clustered around Dixie Chicken. College Main had Loupot's, a variety of small shops and restaurants, with a number of service tenants (barbershops, law offices, etc.). It wasn't until the mid-2000s that the "modern" Northgate mix started to really come into its own...but then again, 2005 was twenty years ago.

Rountree recently posted this on their Facebook page, showing the future view from The View at 203.




ETA: It looks like quite the party across the street.
