We&#39;re very excited about it. The neighborhood has been great &amp; very supportive. <BR/><BR/>Anon. 12:46 PM: We want to be &quot;in the dirt&quot; in 18 months - we, the neighbors, and the City all want this to happen quickly.

The good news is that the City has identified improving 5th St as being an important part of the project. We listened to the community on that, and a lot of people have told us that's one of the reasons they like our plans best.Jad Donohoenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984321216613921136.post-26641582855677484842008-07-02T11:03:00.000-04:002008-07-02T11:03:00.000-04:00Congrats!

It also will have a very open feel on the ground floor that'll really relate it to the street - no blank walls here.Jad Donohoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00309037082004685858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984321216613921136.post-77870229199323935102008-05-07T17:07:00.000-04:002008-05-07T17:07:00.000-04:00Way to go!

I'm not expecting the Burj but what about the 5th-and-I project would you characterize as more aesthetically defining than not?<BR/><BR/>appreciated your coming out to make presentations to the community!pqresidenthttp://www.pqliving.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984321216613921136.post-15791742844290478582008-05-02T15:45:00.000-04:002008-05-02T15:45:00.000-04:00Thanks for your good thoughts!Jad Donohoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00309037082004685858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984321216613921136.post-73339511536124881232008-05-02T11:13:00.000-04:002008-05-02T11:13:00.000-04:00Big thumbs up from this MVT Resident.
