Executive Director Reports with Update on Properties
Executive Director Mestetsky reported that the Governors' orders of a general shut down
excluded construction. The Franciscan Orthopedic Center project and Zotec Headquarters,
approved by Council in December 2019, continue to be under construction. Along Rangeline
Road, the Proscenium project continues to progress. The Agora office building is almost
complete and has masonry and glass on almost the entire building. Two additional buildings from
the Proscenium are up, including the building just north of the Agora, which is up to 4 stories.
Playfair and Holland is well underway, and the Kent building is quickly being built.
In City Center, Hotel Carmichael construction continues full speed ahead. Generally, everything
is moving forward, and the Redevelopment Commission staff are tracking the status of the Hotel
daily. They are tracking what's happening with the economy and relying on recommendations
from Marriott, hotel consultants, and operators for guidance on when to ramp up hiring and open
the Hotel for business.
The CRC hopes to have some projects brought before Council for approval next month including
Brookshire Village Shoppes. The Redevelopment department staff all have laptops, utilize
Microsoft Teams, and have daily conversations about projects.
