Fairmont Avenue |
This addition expands on the "Windows on Woodmont Triangle" design of Karr's Norfolk-Cordell II building, with a facade that is dominated by glass on both of its two levels. Steven Karr says that glass curtainwall will "evoke a sense of transparency and coherency to the complex as a whole."
Goodbye, BlackFinn. Hello, Norfolk Avenue retail. |
Some interesting rooftop spaces are also included, as is new retail space on both St. Elmo and Norfolk Avenues. The revamp will also repair damage to several of the Lot 667 structures caused during excavation on an adjacent property several years ago. That damage was what led to most of them becoming vacant, as the buildings were deemed unsafe to be occupied. 4901-A only became vacant after tenant BlackFinn reportedly fell behind on rent payments and closed.
Public space |
1877 SF of public space will also be added to the site, and a service court will handle both stormwater management and loading/delivery access, with the latter being facilitated by the existing St. Elmo Avenue driveway.

Looks okay in the rendering, but they will go cheap on the material selection like they always do.
ReplyDeleteAre they planning to run Bold Bite out of town? Probably. You would think they would include Bold Bite on the rendering out of respect for their existing tenant who will be adversely affected by this construction.
ReplyDeleteIn the video "thewebsitewhichshallnotbenamed" posted you can see on the awning more clearly it says "dogs & fries"
DeleteCan Karr or Greenhill share their thoughts on why they only ever go one or two stories? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteDyer is king of not following up on conversations that don't suit his agenda.
DeleteGiven that The Roof was on the third floor of that building, that must have been why they failed.
ReplyDeleteHans Riemer obviously talked them into building so insanely high.
We endorse this project.
