I may have made a mistake putting this post on this thread as it has nothing to do with the plans and actual development of Tribune II...perhaps should be in the Local Politics section so I am posting it there for comment.  Sorry about the confusion Admin.

According to the TW, this project should break ground in the fall.

From my window I can see that there is a backhoe digging up the west and southwest corner of the parking lot where this is supposed to be built.  Not sure if it is the beginning of the project or if it is unrelated.  There is only one backhoe, and it is on the opposite side of where the building is supposed to go up, so it may be some unrelated infrastructure work.  I would sure like to see something go up soon.

I've walked by the last couple of days..
Cautious optimism:  This definitely appears the be the beginnings of Phase II.
West parking lot is gone and they continue to go deeper.
The parking lot (and covered spaces behind the Tribune) are now coming up.

It is the Tribune II under construction. But now it's called The Metro at Brady Arts District. It's a stand alone five story $12 million, 75-unit building.

The Metro at Brady Arts District.
That's an ARG name if I've ever heard one. They name apartment buildings like our esteemed developers name their subdivisions.

Good news about the office/apartment combo units, though. And the amenities. And that apparently Tribune didn't go condo after all.

Taken this weekend (1-22-11)...site work is underway.  It will be great to see this building rise over Brady.  You can also see where the parking lot just to the north has been fenced off and a construction trailer has been set up for the hotel project.  No site work has started there yet though.

I am so excited about this project getting off the ground!
This and the hotel across the street will really make this corner feel more urban.

P.S. Anyone know when the new Fairfield should begin construction?

I really like the grass running along the side of the building where the sidewalk ends. I think it will do a nice job of mixing in some green with all the concrete.

I'm surprised the pool area is to the west side to the main street bridge and and not to the east so that the original tribunes have a view of the pool and a view of the pedestrian bridge, the jazz depot, center of the universe, etc.  Looks nice though.
