JTS Improvements - Want More

This doesn’t really make sense to me. Some stuff is already done that they have listed for the future.
I they made some sort of announcement at some point this spring/summer that because the cost came back lower than expected they would be able to get more work done than they initially expected, but I could be wrong.
you know how stubborn pollard is, he aint changing the plans. Also it's probably set in stone with the clinic being the "anchor" tenant, probably a stipulation in their contract.
Either apple cider or that weak 2.2American beer. Also, is it true State of Iowa won't allow concrete poured after Nov. 15 on state projects?
Pretty sure they were pouring it later than that when they were redoing US69 south of Ankeny the last few years
With Pollard's extensive history in commercial land development this is going to end up being awesome.
The original public plan always had the southwest corner being a medical building and the southeast corner being a restaurant/brewery. McFarland is certainly no surprise for the clinic. As far as I know there hasn’t been an announcement on who the restaurant will be. Topling Goliath was an early rumor but they are going to Des Moines. Maybe West O will get in even deeper with ISU?
They were the first tenant to commit. Also, the main real estate consultant, either CBRE or Cushman, will drive what ends up there. It is driven by demand and the willingness of people/entities to sign ground leases, which can be difficult to get financing for, to build the improvements vs. fee simple on the dirt. The market will drive what ends up there, not Jamie. I am sure there will not be any titty bars there, though. Remember, Iowa State owns the dirt.
ISU requesting additional $9.2 million for CyTown project
AMES, Iowa — Iowa State University has requested an additional $9.2 million to begin the second phase of construction on CyTown. The first phase of construction on CyTown is halfway done and …who13.com
Incredibly misleading headline. No surprise from WHO, though.
ISU is requesting approval to spend more money from private/AD funds, not requesting the actual money from the BOR.
I don't like to drink concrete poured on any date . . . . .Either apple cider or that weak 2.2
Heard from somebody very close to the situation at the Kansas game that this is going to happen.
It’s either written by an incredibly ignorant writer or was purposely written to mislead ignorant readers.
Well, It looks like next phase in underway... parking lots are being torn up as we speak in front of Alumni Hall.
I think it was pretty clearly phrased that way intentionally to generate clicks. And this headline definitely will get more attention than an honest one.
I literally parked there yesterday for the basketball game.
The only constant is change.
I’m not sure just how many restaurant/retail spots there are supposed to be, but at one point I had a flash of how cool it might be for Welch Avenue Station to open a clone there—with about twice as much floor space in a modern building. Call it B.A.S.—Beach Avenue Station.
Someone mention it to Jimmy Z?
I get the “anchor” concept, and having a medical clinic towards the stadium makes sense. Especially with all of us old geezers. I guess I was assuming that the locations towards the north end/stage are all supposed to be restaurants and bars, I.e, entertainment?
