Prob just have to wait for the rentals to get converted after the tax credits expire. Tax credits seems to be the only thing that make the conversions work.<BR/>I hope they do pick a cool name for the building and put it up on a sign located on the brick street side, to break up the elevation. Kind of like the "One River Place" sign. Only in black, and back lit real cool at night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-30305703754412432009-01-04T17:00:00.000-06:002009-01-04T17:00:00.000-06:00Nice and classy there 1:21.The wall isn't terrible...Nice and classy there 1:21.<BR/><BR/>The wall isn't terrible, it just needs a bit more. In the rendering from that QCTimes article a few bushes are shown in front of it, so I believe landscaping should help come Spring. It already looks better than the basement wall of the Creative Tile building looked before renovations.QuadCityImageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503485646277987317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-39703826138070646562009-01-04T13:21:00.000-06:002009-01-04T13:21:00.000-06:00This is not the KSTT building.

The old KSTT sits to the west of this construction site.<BR/><BR/>The concrete basement wall does have some'texture' with the lines in it attempting to make it look like brick. It's the same with a steaming pile that has corn in it for 'texture.' At the end of the day, both texture jobs look like poop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-84155855755749886892009-01-04T10:14:00.000-06:002009-01-04T10:14:00.000-06:00Dating myself here, but no matter what they name i...Dating myself here, but no matter what they name it - or how successful it is - it will always be the "KSTT" building with Spike at the "Mike".....FormerIAGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06414731851380848232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-28130489266280945202009-01-02T15:24:00.000-06:002009-01-02T15:24:00.000-06:00I guess the wall doesn't look all that bad to me; ...I guess the wall doesn't look all that bad to me; there's still seems to be a texture to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-53641804071328291902009-01-02T12:57:00.000-06:002009-01-02T12:57:00.000-06:00The two McNamara's are local developers.

That building also has underground parking, and they did little to hide the way it looks. Then they put in some low end tenants into the place to get it filled.<BR/><BR/>This is disappointing, as they did such a good job on the first one they put up on Eastern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
