They must have declined the cross-training for reassignment as ironworkers and welders. That shuttered construction site is a sad, daily reminder, especially given the short duration of the construction season in ND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kab Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Don’t know who is making the decisions at Altru but whoever made the decision to cut one floor and then to put construction on hold needs to be gone. interest rates are low and this needs to be finished asap i would like to know the costs of doing those 2 things as opposed to finishing the project as planned paying interest on a project on hold and more architect fees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a theory the only reason current ownership still has the mall is to pad their numbers on number of square feet owned nationwide. Used this data as leverage to secure loans for other pursuits. Scheels and JC Penny likely pay just enough rent to keep it a float Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxForever Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Columbia mall ideas (not good ones, just spitballing) Indoor dog park and track that people and their pets can use Inline hockey half or full size hockey rink, which can also be used for lacrosse and indoor co-ed soccer. Build a patio with fire pits somewhere to be an add-on for the mall. Don't need liquor or a restaurant per se. Give the people who don't have access to a lake place a fun place to sit with friends, play board games, adult Jenga, large enough grass space to play a few courts for spike ball. Add a few pickelball courts etc. Add two outdoor volleyball courts too. Inside, add 4-6 pool tables and pin ball machines etc. Super random ideas, Bo - give me call, I'll get the creative ideas flowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXFAN97 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 my 2 cents... build matching 10 story condos in the middle of Macy's and Sears...the remaining roofs would be rooftop gardens so the condo owners aren't looking down at all concrete...the rest of the mainfloor indoor space is indoor parking and storage and obviously a main entrance and maybe a inhouse fitness center? (macy's facing the ground round)...sears the old automotive entrance)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnboyND7 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Spent a couple days at Altru this weekend (long story). Saw they were doing some work on the building but forgot to ask the staff what was going up there. Anyone got the details on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
