PB (Feb. 2018) Support from Rochester's Planning and Zoning Commission

" Early plans for a $180 million construction project along the Zumbro River received some enthusiastic support from Rochester's Planning and Zoning Commission Wednesday night.

"I like this project," Commissioner Thomas Hill said before the commission voted 5-1 to recommend approval of the project. "I find it exciting, and I think that after reading through all the reports and stuff, I thought it was pretty thoughtful. I find there are many things that are in demand right now, and I feel that this project is addressing some that are important."

Among those demands, Hill noted the project proposed by Bloom International Realty will provide assisted-living senior housing.

The plans presented to the commission Wednesday show two structures being built on riverfront property between Second Street and Fourth Street Southeast.

....


If approved and built as planned, the southern building will house 215 senior living units, ranging from independent living to memory care in a 22-story tower reaching 272 feet. The proposed tower would extend from a wider six-story podium stretching between Fourth and Third Streets, on what is currently city-owned land occupied by Legends Bar and Grill and a parking lot.

The proposed second building would occupy space north of Third Street, which now houses the Second Street Parking Ramp. That building would five-story base structure with a tower reaching 28 stories, or 360 feet. The tower would house 181 hotel rooms and 132 condos.

The base structures of both buildings would contain upper-level parking with a mix of restaurant and retail space on the ground floor, as well as the skyway level. "

This is a "home run" kind of project. Some of my friends who have been looking elsewhere to re-locate to a down-town living environment may now have reasons to wait and see how this will turn out.

About Beam

Community Beam (dmcbeam.org) is a registry of private and public resources (organizations, projects, initiatives, programs) that underpin economic and social developments of greater Rochester:

  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
