Downtown Construction Update  - Center Lodge, The Bridge, and More

Demolition Work to Begin at old Pine Food and Spirits

Interior demo should begin soon, if it hasn't already, at 190 South Center Street, the old Pine Food and Spirits store. It's part of a larger renovation happening, reported here. 

The permit includes removal of sheetrock and ceiling drywall. 

Hudson Project Construction Update and News

As I reported here, the Hudson Project is firing back up, big time. Check out some construction photos of the neighborhood. 

New Activity at Hudson Project?

The Hudson Project was a multi-block development planned for downtown at Center and Pine Street. Brian Egan championed some amazing apartment renovations seen here, before the project stalled a bit. Now, is there renewed activity?

Center Lodge Downtown Sold

As a part of his adaptive reuse Hudson project, Brian Egan has brought in Center Lodge LLC, which has just closed on Center Lodge today, located on the corner of Pine and Center Street.

Brian Egan has already started renovating the older rental properties in this area, which you can read about and see here.

Restoring Downtown: The Hudson Project

I've been writing this blog for close to 9 years now. During that time, we've seen projects of all sizes sweep through downtown and midtown. The project graveyard includes Arterra, Wingfield Towers, Waterfront Towers, various forms of the Kings Inn being redeveloped, and many more that didn't make it. The ones that did make it, though perhaps premature, undeniably transformed downtown. Having the Sundowner, Golden Phoenix, and Comstock converted to condos in conjunction with the Palladio, provided just enough new living spaces to initiate a gradual increase in residents from 2007 through today.

At the same point in time, striking changes were occurring in the Wells Avenue Conservation District and Midtown, on a more organic level, stabilizing a neighborhood once though of as undesirable. Marmot Properties amassed dozens of properties in the neighborhood, spending millions acquiring and renovating the properties then renting them out fairly quickly. I've covered many of their renovations and you can check out some before-and-afters on their project page. Between downtown and the Wells Avenue Conservation District, however, was a neighborhood not seeing a lot of movement or development, with many properties such as the ones owned by Ryder Homes stuck in limbo. That's is all changing, however, with the Hudson Project....
