hidden parking, etc. However I
imagine that bad design wouldn't sell particularly well, even without the
city involvement.
Chris Johnson Says:
And even more importantly, do those 30-story buildings need to be in Uptown
or Loring?
Nick Frank Responds:
No one has proposed 30-story buildings
in five years time and these
tall buildings will be the reason for the transformation.

If the office component is scaled back that is a significant reduction in
property tax revenues due to the higher rate offices pay. The only real

There is another

I look forward to your responses.

the same intensity
of use in either case why run the risk of undermining a development to
preserve a surface parking lot? I can't understand how tall buildings are
inherently so bad for neighborhoods in some peoples minds.

a logically defensible argument against the height on
this project. Besides a 13 story buiding will not be enough to make anyone
confuse Uptown for NYC.

prices just that often redevelopment costs more than
existing zoning allows. This issue is componded by the parking requirements
on new developments and substantial fixed costs to construct enclosed
parking make smaller developments less viable by definition.

response is that if they are right about what people really want, then the
development won't be feasible and won't happen and they've got nothing to
worry about.

a stable lease
market. (MPR early 2003)
The 26 million square feet referred to the article is the TOTAL office space
not the vacant portion.
Your subject line completely misrepresents the facts and severely undercuts
the arguments you are trying to make.

Vicky said: The Allina employees will have to buy a lot of trinkets on
Lake Street (at .5% sales tax) to retire the $30 million TIF debt, plus
interest. Remember that the property taxes will NOT be going into the
City's general fund.

1. Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list
month under
the renting scenario whereas there is really no chance I would miss a
mortgage payment. Finally, even a $20,000 downpayment on the same unit in 5
years would yeild an even bigger mortgage after taking appreciation into
account.
