Welcome, Neighbors ... Will you come in peace?

The Forward Tacoma newsletter and Exit133 both have some information about the rumors of a grocery store in downtown. Interestingly, it's likely slated to go right across the street from me. Say goodbye to USA of Yesterday and hello to the Sharp Project.

The Sharp Project will supposedly weigh in at a shockingly massive 526,000 sq. ft. That's 150 residential units; 100,000 sq. ft. of commercial; and ...

They're currently negotiating with potential tenants for the commercial space usage in the Sharp Project, including a hotel and three different grocery store chains.

Dude. That's a big project for this hill. A hotel? A grocery store? 100,000 sq. ft. of commercial? Am I going to live across the street from a Gap?

One thing is for sure. No mure view of Mount Rainier after next year. If the Sharp building doesn't block my view, the Walker North will, and if neither of them do, the 18 stories of Jay Heights will surely do the trick. That's what I get for living on the 2nd floor.
