Mixed-use Development including the JHU Student Bookstore

Blogger is wacked right now or maybe it's the network I'm on, making it almost impossible to create entries, find entries, etc. It's far too frustrating to attempt to do anything. I will do this one entry via flickr, but it's more of a "notice".

I wrote about this development last summer, when the project hadn't started construction. This part of Charles Village is undergoing a significant densification-intensification of land use. It's incredible. Hundreds of housing units will be built at this intersection, in at least three different projects, which is about 1.5 miles from Penn Station.

This street, in this area, has a number of extant multi-story apartment buildings, and there is also a multi-story hospital around here as well.

According to the banner on the bookstore, this particular development, by Streuver Bros., Eccles & Rouse, will be opening in October.

As I said in a blog entry last summer, I like how the JHU student bookstore is being removed and put into the adjacent neighborhood, which will add street life, increase the number of pedestrians, provide a bookstore that also serves the neighborhood, and considerably strengthens the now pretty small retail district, which has service retail including the Eddie's Market, and some restaurants.

One way to differentiate your offering--delivery--Eddie's Market, Charles Village, Baltimore.

More later.
