Next up for Hillcrest
Bruce Leidenberger & University Vista, LLC have something new planned for the location meant for 301 University (between Third & Fourth) — and this is even taller! Without any community input, two towers, now 175 feet & 193 feet high, are moving ahead.
Please attend the next Hillcrest Town Council — Tuesday, September 9th @6:30 in the Joyce Beers Community Center in the Uptown District for an update. Share your opinion here.

The next development along University Avenue between Third & Fourth is taller than its 148-foot predecessor which was nicknamed “the monster” building (neighboring structures are only 1-3 stories). Now moving through the city (without any community input) are two towers — one 175 feet and the other 193 feet. Come to the next Hillcrest Town Council on Tuesday, September 9th to learn more. Or voice your opinions here.

This small Craftsman home has stood for decades at the southeast corner of Tenth & Robinson is being taken down. It’s so sad to see this happen to the Sear’s catalog house that has greeted Hillcrest arrivals from the 163N exit. Unfortunately, we are erasing our history and the community character at an alarming rate. The Historical Resources Board didn’t think it was worth saving.
