Finally took the time away from remodeling to get some construction photos. Here’s an update on the progress at Museum Place in the Cultural District. One Museum Place, the big retail/office/condo building, is very nearly complete, as seen in the photo above. The last bits of glass and such are going up now, and there’s also now an alcohol license notice in the corner retail space for Eddie V.’s Edgewater Grill.
Across the street, the Flatiron-style retail/office building is progressing nicely as well. Almost the entire slanted south side of the building is complete, and work on that side’s ground floor is going now as well. The building’s other two sides, which looked like some sort of black paneling in earlier renderings, are actually dark brick, as seen below in the photo of the building’s north side:
As more of Museum Place moves ahead, I still think it’s my favorite of the big three 7th Street developments. There are a lot of oddly-shaped blocks here and the project is filling them in interesting ways, and thus far I like the architecture of the project better than the other two. I look forward to seeing more progress on the project - roadwork and site prep continue on the rest of the project’s blocks.

If so… dang. There’s no way I can swing that! But I love the location.
JP - as far as I know, they’re accurate. There will also be 400+ apartments in the development, but rents for them have not been revealed yet.
Wow - I have not been over there in a while - things are looking great!! Thanks Kevin.
Hmmm… good to know.
Aside from 1 Museum Place and 3300 West 7th, do you know if they plan to offer any other units to purchase in this area?
I wish something affordable for the Average Joe would develop near that intersection or along 7th.
Are these prices really sustainable? Did Montgomery Ward ever sell all of their units.
Montgomery Plaza has sold *most* of their units. A quick perusal of their site shows 62 units unsold out of 240. That information may not be completely up-to-date, though, so there’s a good chance it’s even more sold than that. They’re still in the middle of construction, as well.
Museum Place has fewer than 50 condos, mixed in with 400+ apartments and office space, so I imagine they aren’t as dependent on selling them immediately as a more condo-heavy development.
