Just drove by campus town

[Havs]

Kingland updated the design of its' building and it looks a little more similar to those 2. It'll look really good, a helluva lot better than before, but its only 3 stories.

When did they update it?

 

[Havs]

Updated image of the old First National Bank location. I'd say campustown is going to look much better in a year or so.

I really wish the garage door would have been put in the back. That looks bad right in the middle. The rest of the building looks fine though.

Updated Kingland rendering, basically all that has changed is they have broken up the large window expanses shown in the previous rendering, and changed the block/limestone facades to a charcoal metal panel, and change the brown brick to a champagne color (the white facade you see in the picture)



Also a full picture of the 23 twenty lincoln development without the banner



and a picture of what the interior courtyard will look like located on the roof of the 23 twenty project (pretty cool and I imagine these apartment will be pretty pricey with the location and amenities included)

Still not a fan of the Kingland design. It looks cheap and basic.

Looks fake, like the facades at Universal Studios.

Nicer than tan-painted wood paneling on Angie's Cantina.

Every time we drive through campus town at the moment husband makes the same lame VEISHEA riot jokes about what it looks like right now.

Everything generally looks worse before it gets better.

Hopefully it looks like an urban location and not a suburban location. This will be good for students.

The building will look like what is pictured above.

How far along is construction on these buildings? The Kingland one looks so cheap and lousy, but 23 twenty is very solid minus the garage door being in the front of the building.

All of the sites have been graded and utility work has been going on, foundation work should be starting soon.

What comes around, goes around. Original location for People's Drug (before it was People's bar and then whatever it turned into after that).

Anyone else think that the amount of glass on that corner may prove to be a questionable decision during whatever annual celebration develops now that Veishea is gone? smile:

Depends. Is David Irving going to be in attendance?

He's more of a sign man than a glass man.

We should have seen the signs when he was recruited...

Picture from Irving's signing day. Oh wait, wrong picture.

My wife is a pharmacist. I should convince her I need to move back to Ames.
