Campustown Redevelopment

[SoapyCy]

A liquor store would be smart to open up shop in one of the retail spaces on the first floor. Iowa City has Liqour Downtown on the first floor of an apartment building and they have to just rake in the $

so... anyone wanna open a liquor store?

i'm not joking

RIP The Keg Stand. Fire Sales in the summer were awesome.

Wingstop is going in the Firehouse/HuHot strip on South Duff. January opening, tentatively.

That's a HUGE upgrade for that corner. That whole block was a **** hole.

The Swift Stop was convenient when I was living in the apartments on the NW corner of Hyland and Lincoln Way though.

Driving through my " Home Sweet Home" campustown over the Holidays, it looked like a few building were getting demolished on Lincoln way right across Friley.

Is there something in the works or planned for this location? Thanks!

Building area-'ish' that looked like it was being demolishing.

Yes there is a new building planned there. Think it is going slow due to a dispute/negotiations with city. New building will replace old building with Taste Place (which is moving to a new location nearby) to the building that was demolished recently. Here is an old rendering:

Can't believe there hasn't been any updated renderings for this place. Not real wild about the look as it's portrayed now. Definitely think something needs to be done though.

I know that rendering's old, but that looks like a place that if it isn't already burned, it should be.

I can’t inagine rent on the ground floor of these new buildings is cheap.

There's a reason new developments are mostly chain restaurants. Securing leases from national chains allows better financing.

Any idea how much rent is? And how many years to lock you into lease?

True, but they do want local businesses too like a liquor store hmmmmm.

Something like Quintons would have been great for campustown before the flood of sandwich chains.
Great place in Stillwater is the Garage.
Keltic Star in Manhattan.

Campus town could use some of those types of places.
