pretty good website. nice commentary on Riverside in it. They need to make the floor layouts easier to see - maybe making them clickable to magnify them.
I did not catch whether they mentioned that the residential units are above street level shops. Also did not notice whether they said the retail is not sold yet.

I love the Village Center because of the nearby Luxury shopping! My penthouse overlooks the world. Catering by Heavenly Hot Dogs.! Copy by ?

I checked out the site. Very nice.
The incoming flower shop has a nice website as well with a catchy tune. http://www.shamrockgardenflorist.com/
Too bad it is not a larger store, only occupying 1,300 sf when there is still over 9,500 sf of the ground floor to rent.
The 3rd floor is selling well. Six of the nine, 3rd floor units are sold. (Yeah, like it needed that 4th floor variance, people WANT to live on the third floor! obviously, duh) But, if you have been waiting all these months to act, it is not too late, especially if you wouldn't mind living on the second floor, all 9 are still available. Three of the Four Penthouses are still available as well. About 26% sold, not bad.Posted Friday May 25, 2007 21:09 # -
Thanks for the tip. I wrote the builder about the benefits that would accrue from planting vines on the building and asked them to do so.

How was it?

I had a dream... that the VC became a world class landmark building that people from all over the world came to see... boosting the sales tax revenue of the Village and the income for all the businesses that would flock to be located here... because of one thing - IMAGINATION! Some have it, some don't. Never a vacancy at the Hundertwasserhaus, where they even grow trees on the balconies...

the sushi and shrimp were very good. Kudos to the fine catering by the Chew Chew. Good job keeping the bucks in town. And they had live music, too. I believe I saw a sign at one of the ground level openings to Burlington that said 'outdoor patio'. I thought that would be a nice feature for both customers of the ground floor eating establishment as well as the atmosphere in the center of town.
Yes, spatny, "it's the music, st***d".
One of the items that Flight mentioned in the other thread+ about what to do do post-tif was the importance of attending to detail and to *lovingly* work the planters (in some kind of 'adopt a planter' program).
I thought this idea can be applied to facade of the VC, too. Flight was looking at some of the examples I had shown in that thread. One of the examples was a really-old looking building and how a nice presenation can help.
http://www.terragalleria.com/pictures-subjects/facades/picture.facades.ital7041.htmlA nice, imaginative, loving, detail oriented presentation can also be true for a too-new building that is in the middle of an 'old and charming space'. In the same way that good presentation / facade can help a decrepit building, with imagination it can help the VC, with its Westchester yellow brick.

I made inquiry into their landscaping plans inasmuch as their construction involved the removal of some 20 year old trees donated by the Olmsted Society that had a substantial dollar value associated with them by that time. I am told they have a landscaping plan that has been approved.
The red and yellow diagonal pattern makes the building even uglier than I had dreamed it would be.
