Construction of the new retail portion of the 24s @ Uptown redevelopment project has begun. It's part of the larger project that renovated and added residential and commercial uses to an existing 4-story office building in Uptown Albuquerque. A new parking garage was added in the basement of the building, which allowed for some of the former surface parking areas to be redeveloped along Louisiana Boulevard.

The project is one of several that are helping to make Uptown Albuquerque more urban and dense, including the ongoing redevelopment of the former Winrock mall into Winrock Town Center. The Level 2 office space is currently under construction and the proposal for 300 apartments is working its way right now through the city's approval process, where last week it garnered another approval at the city's Development Review Board.

They are the Uptown Transit Center TOD project and Legacy Hospitality's new 6-story apartment development that I posted earlier in the thread. That project also recently garnered city approval at the DRB to go ahead.
