On East Village’s Market street between 7th and 8th sits an empty parking lot. This block of land between The Mark Condos and Alta Condos was recently approved for a new mixed use development project that will include 2 high rise towers with 19 and 39 stories respectively. The towers will consist of the Ritz Carlton five star hotel, Whole Foods, apartments, condos and office space.
The $400 million project received approval from the city’s downtown planning agency on July 2016. Construction is expected to begin early 2017 with a completion date estimated for around late 2019.
