While I was out shooting the Summer 2013 Hole-in-the-Ground Census, I noticed something different along 15th Street. The Delgany Apartments project is now up to 4-stories and is roughly the same height as the Museum of Contemporary Art. Now that the underground parking and foundation work is more or less complete, we should start to see this structure rise quickly. It’s quite amazing how much of an impact a 4-story building can have in certain area and to think, this is going to rise 10-stories!
As a refresher, the 10-story Delgany Apartments will add 284 rental units to the Union Station neighborhood. The ground floor will feature four townhomes along with 4,000 square feet of space that may be used by the Museum of Contemporary Art. Completion for this project is expected in early 2014.
Thanks for the update! We live nearby, and have been watching this project with interest! One question we have: Do you know if there will be any other retail on that ground floor? We were really hoping for a coffee place or a breakfast/lunch cafe of some sort. On another note, we’re hoping the new residents there will be primarily walk or bike commuters, since more cars in this area would not be good…
Hey Wendy,
From what I know there will not be any ground floor retail minus that 4,000 square feet. Given the fact that Union Station is a block or so away from this project, I’m sure a lot of residents will be utilizing the nearby station when it comes to transportation needs, at least we can hope right? 🙂
there’s all that empty retail across the street on the ground floor of the parking garage…
You’re getting pretty handy with the camera there Ryan. Those pics look sharp!
Thanks Freddie! 🙂
