Considering the value of the property, price of materials and acquiring the property, along with the time spent to get this together, they will probably be market rate.
I fully expect them to be luxury apartments the same as the townhomes next to them.
Notice they didn't say what kind of apartments they are supposed to be. I remember at first it was supposed to be Mixed income apartments. I wonder if they are keeping with that
For anybody interested, here are some PowerPoint slides from the Town Hall meeting I missed yesterday at the School of Medicine of what the new Health Sciences Campus will look like at the Bull St. complex.
Smith Branch restoration is a good idea from both a flood management perspective and as a greenway attraction. I wish they would extend it beyond Bull Street/277 at the hospital on to North Main/Earlewood Park. Connecting Earlewood Park and Keenan Terrace by connecting them via trails to Bull Street adds them in to the mix along with Cottontown and Elmwood Park in terms of improving accessibility to Bull Street. It also improves access to /from the hospital and state offices to North Main or over to the Bull Street complex. I don't want to use the "G" word on here ... but this could be a nice park and stream system very similar to one in a town that starts with the letter "G" about 100 miles from here..Its obviously not the same but using the topography connections to neighborhoods and commercial establishments.. it could serve the same purpose especially one day when the City redevelops the property on the west side of North Main above River Drive .
While I prefer locally owned, between REI and Starbucks, Bull Street is about to take off, IMO. Neither of those retailers would be there if they weren't sure of its future.

I was surprised by some of the dates they mentioned in the article, like the outer shell of REI will be completed in January, it looks like it's already almost finished and that the store is opening in late spring 2020. I would have thought REI would have been open some time in March, by how far along it is, instead of say, late May or early June, whatever late spring means.
And an opening of Spring 2021 for the Starbucks, that seems sort of a long time!
Tax breaks and more luxury apartments. Nice but still not seeing the benefits it's gonna have on us lower class citizens of this city. This is just more gentrification that's gonna price us out of our homes.

They are not going to put low or mid level anything in there this is supposed to be the new hub even though they claim it’s not meant to replace main st. It’s there to generate business and in order to do that they want residential that will support the planned businesses which have always been targeted toward the upper end such as the movie theater that got canned that was supposed to be a luxury theater. The Fireflies stadium has won awards for being the nicest low minor league field.
This area is probably going to be your ultra high end everything which currently Columbia does not have. This is only going to affect the local area around it it might bump prices on the cotton town side but I doubt this impacts the Celia Saxon side for housing prices.
The benefits that come from this are more varied businesses and higher populations that push more industry and higher class employment. It’s a cycle that if done correctly will benefit everyone on availability of services.
