In addition to those hotels, there is a high-end boutique hotel going in on the waterfront where flat tail brewing was. 70 rooms plus 90 higher end apartments. It is being developed by the Obie company who developed the 5th St Market in Eugene. $80 million project. The largest development project in downtown Corvallis ever. |

I have heard this rumored for several years. They are also going to use the old Blackledge Furniture warehouse as part of the footprint. Great news for downtown. More people living there makes downtown safer and more vibrant. Gonna be even harder to find a parking spot, though. We all can't take public transportation, walk or ride a bike like some elements in Corvallis want us to do. |

They’ve also acquired other properties for parking and future development. I think the hotel with 3 restaurants will do great. I’m interested to see how full the apartments will be. They are trying to start demolition of the existing buildings by year end. |

I’m not quite there yet, but I’m getting to the point in life that the idea of living in a “luxury” apartment, in a downtown setting, is starting to sound slightly appealing. |

How OLD are you guys? I’m 66 and can’t IMAGINE living in ANY apartment. Luxury, or not. I gotta have my big back yard to run around naked and take the occasional PISS in w/o anybody noticing. Our grandkids and dogs would never forgive us. 😊. To each his own. 😉 |

In my perfect world, my wife and I have one of those apartments in Corvallis and a home near the beach, somewhere south of Valencia Spain. We do need to figure out the dog thing though.

This being Corvallis, Judge, the obvious question following the statement, "They are trying to start demolition by year end," is, "Which year?" No idea how old you and Glove are, but, should you still be alive when these hotels get certificates of occupancy, you will have enjoyed long lives. |

Our grandkids and dogs would never forgive us. 😊. To each his own. 😉 Sans "naked" & "pissing" (save that for the ocean)... but, no garage(s) (most might have parking spaces), no storage (some might have a small storage locker), putting up with shared wall neighbors and their consistent fudging on policies? No thanks. An HOA is bad enough. I can rent a hotel room, or long term Airbnb for "downtown" type living. Get the best of both without the permanent headaches. But, of course we hate people! 😉 |

No idea how old you and Glove are, but, should you still be alive when these hotels get certificates of occupancy, you will have enjoyed long lives. The change in state law will let them get this done. They only will have 60 onsite parking spaces for the 90 residents. Corvaliisites NIMBY’s will have no say in this. |

Hey, I'll live long enough to see a new Van Buren Street bridge, something I didn't think would happen. Maybe I'll still be alive when Washington Way is completely open from 15th to 35th!  And of course 30th street was closed again on Saturday between Washington and Jefferson. |

But the Van Buren street bridge is only going to be 2 lanes with 2 bike lanes, instead of 3 lanes merging to two after the bypass, like it should be. Why do we need a bike lane next to the road, while there’s a separate biking/pedestrian path? |

There’s still another part of me that wants to buy a place outside of town with a couple of acres. That and I’d have a really hard time getting rid of my garage gym. |
