Are we sure Kuda Bank isn’t just the bank funding the new build? I’m assuming we all know that’s common for the bank who’s financing the build to put up their sign at the build site but just thought I’d ask haha 

I thought of that as well, but the sign literally reads "Coming Soon" and there's a rendering of the finished structure with a Koda Bank sign on it.

It does appear to be a multi-use office building, so the bank branch would likely be just be one occupant.

The Lights is at Sheyenne and 32nd Ave S in West Fargo.

This image is old so you only see dirt: https://www.google.com/maps/place/West+Fargo,+ND/@46.8345167,-96.9077345,1053m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x52cf34bb7797e871:0xb83bd0531febdbda!8m2!3d46.8769487!4d-96.8999057 

The image you see at the start of the video is looking east into the concert area and courtyard (you're hovering over the WF schools ice rink). 

The biggest knock I've heard so far is concern noise affecting neighboring developments.

You could say the same about a Highschool football game with the loud speaker. A good solution is to get out and go to the events.

HS football is done by about 10 pm.
These neighboring folks were listening to a concert after midnight on a weeknight (think: work in the morning). 

Nothing here that can't be solved by scheduling.

assuming that the parcel of green lawn that abuts demers belongs to the townhouse owners...if they can keep the noise over there that would help. plus it would look nice for people coming down the overpass and seeing that on their left.

cam tweten still the owner ofthe group that bought the townhouse?

Has anyone seen a rendering of the new restaurant?  Curious what all the work on the roof is for? If I had to guess, I would say they are raising the ceiling vs building a patio, but it's tough to know for sure.

Sounds like a different project.

The project at the university isn’t in a city “Ren Zone,” and an earlier developer already used that tax incentive at St. John’s Block, which leaves only the Townhouse project with the Renaissance Zone option.
