I have heard some troubling rumblings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some aren't real high on the guy, but I saw Mac's will be moving into the former Brew Hub space in south city on Oakland in the area the Arena used to be.

That’s to say that it’s probably in even worse shape now. I’d love to see it reopen, but I’m certainly not looking at it as a sure thing.

It shows a major corporation already familiar with the region has faith long term in the midtown area. It is the type of move that will draw in more investment to the area as some national corporations that were hesitant to invest will follow Target's lead.

This development looks like stuff that has and are being built in Chicago over by the Cubs ballpark. My daughter lives in the area and when I would walk to the local Starbucks across the street at Belmont and Clark is practically the identical type development that I watched being built. A smaller type Target for the city environ with 3 floors of apts above. A parking garage below which I would think is going in this one. The Target generates most of its foot traffic from people walking in with some parking below for customers in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
