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.
