Town Madison Update Thread (for sale, taxes, law)

[RocketDawg]

If I remember correctly, groundbreaking for the dual-named Marriott was held some months ago. Has actual construction started yet? I haven't seen any activity there.

We walked by the Marriott lot last night and there is absolutely no construction activity there. But, the Palmer House apartments next door are coming along. They have cabinets, appliances and lighting in the units and this week they began completing painting on the exterior of the buildings.

The bid dates slated between 11-15 through 11-21 with construction start date Feb 1, 2023. We'll see.

Well, it's about time. Hope it goes through without a hitch. I suspect constructiion of the flyovers will result in considerable further retail development for Town Madison.

It looks like it began this week. They're pushing dirt around.

I understand Panera Bread is open now and it looks like Panda Express will be opening soon.

So there's basically 3 Marriotts in the process of being built right now, including the Autograph, not to mention the Moxy has been announced as well. Guess it's safe to say Marriott loves Huntsville.

There's also an ALOFT ,Indigo (IHG Brand) and Hyatt, planned. Residence Inn may also be in the works.
In the Huntsville area

And also an item on MidCity's website says something like "Marriott announcing soon". Presumably that's not the Indigo or the one of the others that have already started.

Any idea what's being built in Madison next to the extended stay place on Intergraph? Looks like it's probably a similar hotel, 4 floors, but not a very large footprint.

We went to the new Panera earlier this evening. Nice crowd there, nice personnel working the registers (being trained, but they have to learn), and good food. It will be a nice location.
