The Golden Triangle is on the brink of a fairly large development boom. With three projects now underway in the neighborhood, the momentum is picking up, which only helps Golden Triangle to become a more connected, walkable neighborhood. While a roundup for the Golden Triangle is due soon, let’s take a quick look at two projects that have kicked off recently.
Starting with 990 Bannock, this 14-story project is now underway with excavation activities taking place at the project site. In addition, a tower crane base is already on the project site, so we should see a new tower crane in the coming weeks.
Below are a few rendering refreshers of 990 Bannock.
Seeing more momentum in the Golden Triangle is very exciting news as there is still a lot of work to be done for the neighborhood.
| Project Description | Developer | Architect | Contractor |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 Stories | 224 apt homes | 205 (v) parking |
LMC | Shears Adkins Rockmore | Weitz |
Looks like this building will help hide the hideous parking podium of the adjacent building, that’s good to see!
Right you are, Corey. In this case, the developers and architects were the same for both sides of the alley, so it’s my belief that they allowed for a certain amount of alley-ugliness because they knew they were coming back to cover it up from the many viewing angles of the buildings. Still though, could the alleys between two complimentary buildings do more and activate the space better than simply providing access for the parking?
Which project do you think is next to break ground in Golden Triangle? It seems like Evans East is very close
The lack of pedestrian access during these projects has been really frustrating. I’m constantly crossing the street from block to block. I thought we passed laws about that already.
Finally a developer smart enough to place an amenity deck on the south side of the building so the area actually gets sunlight. Wish they would have made the west facing facade more appealing since that side has the best views.
Where’s the second project you were going to cover lol?
