Louisville is seeing an unprecedented amount of growth and projects announced for its urban core. This thread will post photos and links of the major development proposals for downtown as well as construction updates on housing projects in its urban neighborhoods. Currently, there is 2.1 BILLION in construction for the approximately one square mile central business district alone, with this amount expected to double in the next few years as UofL adds a major life sciences park to downtown. Look for me to update this thread periodically.
Liberty Greens project. Over 600 housing units when complete, and a recent announcement adds an edgy condo and townhome district designed to attract families downtown:
New U of L dorms and housing developments (UofL has alread doubled its on campus housing to 3300 in five years and has plans to add over 1500 more beds in the next few years, so private developers have three large projects lined up for the area):
River Park condo/marina community 1500 upscale units planned over 10 years, but the recent crash in subprime mortgage market has caused the company to start first with only one five story building and then construct twin 16 story towers by 2010-2011 as part of Phase 1.
Center City retail/entertainment distict, now estimated at $450 million and to stretch 6 city blocks downtown, starting construction late 2008 or early 2009.
Museum Plaza. Under Construction. Complete in 2011. An amazing project with a 250 room westin hotel, almost 200 luxury condos and lofts, art studios for UofL, a diagonal see through elevator, and last but not least, a contemporary art museum 25 stories in the air to be the first of its kind in the country. This building will be the cities new tallest at over 700 feet and 62 stories. Read about this one on the website, and google it to see the international attention it has garnered for its design!
Just this week, a proposed 25 story, 380 foot skyscraper with 600,000 sf of office space. Renderings to come soon...this would be in the top 10 tallest in the city.
