Daskalos Project Back on Track
By Sean Olson Journal Staff Writer
A halted portion of the $13 million Nob Hill project by developer Jason Daskalos is back in business and shooting for a Jan. 1 completion date. Daskalos' project, The Place at Nob Hill, takes up nearly one block between Tulane and Wellesley on the north side of Central. It will feature retail on the ground floor and 26 condos on the upper floors. Some covered garages and a Dumpster complex on the north side of the building were held up after a state District Court judge reversed city approval. The city had failed to make a zoning change for that part of the project, but a zoning hearing officer approved a conditional use permit on Nov. 5. Kenneth Robey, who filed the original complaint, said he was "disappointed and amazed" and that he has already drafted an appeal. Daskalos said Monday that the Boba Tea Co. has reserved space in the building and 12 condos have been sold. American Apparel has signed a letter of intent, he said. Daskalos' attorney, Cathy Davis, has said the project meets the desired conditions of walkability, density and proximity to transit as laid out in the city's planned growth strategy. Robey has said the project is too dense and doesn't fit in with the neighborhood.
