We really doing a 30$ smash burger?
Too much glass, a giant see through block without any architectural definition needs a rethink. What tenant would want everything out in the open for all to see?
It sticks out like a sore thumb. It needs various elevations for interest.
the "Douglas Family Preserve" is the Wilcox.
"Alice Keck Park Memorial Garden" is Alice Keck Park Park
"Arroyo Burro beach" is Hendry's.
I'm sure the community will come up with an alternative name for the sports complex.
That design is ugly and will become dated and out of place ’landmark’ . Surely they can do better.
This is pretty random, but I wish your website had a better image lightbox to view all the images on the site and that it didn’t auto rotate through photos when I click to open an image. If the images could somehow also start bigger and if the arrows to rotate through were bigger, or if the X to close was bigger… I’ve heard foobox is good for images on Wordpress sites. Anyways, love the content here, I just feel real estate images ought to be observed in grandest scale. Cheers to the Siteline!
WOW very impressive and much needed here! It’s wonderful the developers decided to spend the extra $$ to go that route.
Something I did not mention in the post is that the design is net-zero and LEED Gold.
I don't know where these architects come up with such atrocious designs. A barn greenhouse, in the era of climate change? Totally out of scale with the street. An aesthetically bankrupt person's idea of style. Not a great use of the location, internally or externally.
For the love of Pearl Chase, let the planning commission give this one a nice boot out the door.
I love it! The building reminds me of The Shed in Healdsburg that unfortunately closed after the wildfires about 8 years ago. They had a great cafe, an amazing selection of pantry items, cookbooks, great housewarming gifts and awesome gardening tools etc. I think upstairs was used as a wedding/special events venue. That would be awesome here!
I think the design needs to be rethought. It really doesn't fit in with what is on CVR. You have Jeff Shelton's whimsical architecture, Montecito Inn's Mediterranean design and Bar Lou's more cottage/Carmel look. I say pick one of those 3 and not introduce a 4th style. I think the glass would look out of place.
"Attractive new mixed use building" ? Ack. Usually your taste is spot on. This building is a cheap looking sloppy piece of Yuck. An insult to all of us. Barely better that the industrial leasing firm that came before.
While I'm glad this corner is finally getting its due and I like the design in theory, it will stick out like a sore thumb in this location. The all glass greenhouse-like facade will make it too hot and seems impractical for just about any tenant. The solar parking spaces are inspired, though.
Agreed Andy. It's a treasure of liquid assets! I'm not feeling this style of architecture for Coast Village Road. A glass tower? Who will plow into it first? LOL A glass building would be a stark contrast to the style of Clark's, The Coast Village Inn and Bar Lou. Which I have always found charming. How about matching the style of building where Renaud's is located? Solar car parks give an airport feeling. Do you know if The Bottle Shop will open elsewhere?
I will miss the Bottle Shop, but I’m not sure I will miss their pricing.
What I will deeply, deeply miss though is the sense of joy and wonder that you only can get there from pawing through a randomly merchandised shelf of only semi related bottles. And then you find a bottle of motor oil. Or a first aid kit. Or a single package of Twinkies.
Elizabeth's still mad at losing her life's savings to the Beanie Baby bubble back in 1999. Cant really blame her. Who would have thought a stuffed toy that she paid $10k for would be practically worthless only a few years later?
Im fine with it as with Douglas family preserve, Alice Keck Park Park and other generous donations in exchange for recognition.
100% agree!
No way should the the city have allowed the sports area have any branded name on the property, especially ‘Ty Warner Sports Complex’. Yikes!
I’d like to know who approved EOS fitness signage at both their current locations. it’s disproportionately large and looks really trashy.
Indio.... finally feeling the trickle-down effect of Coachella, Stagecoach and other events. It's otherwise one of those places where they pull up the sidewalks at 6pm.
Google it, babe.
Rincon Brewery‘s Funk Zone outpost is closing after tonight. The rumor is that South Coast Deli will take over the space. But I won't mention the actual address because my head is clean up my small intestine.
The old Victor the Florist shop at corner of Santa Barbara & Anapamu streets?
They can't even get the metro link linked!
Exactly this. I haven't heard any realistic alternatives yet.
