📚 Delving into History: The Transformation of Redmond 🌳 This week's read is a captivating recount of Redmond's tenacious evolution from a land of towering trees to the vibrant city we know today. It's a story that begins with two bold pioneers, Warren Wentworth Perrigo and Captain Luke McRedmond, who ignited the city's first economic boom with their lumbering foresight. 🌉 The narrative takes us through a journey of innovation, as steamboats and the Seattle Lake Shore & Eastern Railway shaped the infrastructure, laying down the tracks for a prosperous future. Despite challenges like forest fires and Prohibition, Redmond's community spirit saw it pivot from logging to agriculture, right before blossoming into the high-tech industrial hub it is in the present day. 🏗 Reflecting on the city's rich past, from heritage landmarks such as the Redmond Trading Company to the bustle of Main Street (now Leary Way), we are reminded of the relentless determination that has been the city's backbone. With a population that surged post the completion of the Evergreen Point floating bridge, Redmond's trajectory of progress is a testament to the power of vision and the relentless pursuit of growth. 🔍 For aficionados of history, community dynamics, and urban development, this is a deep dive into how a city's past shapes its present and forges its future. #Redmond #History #Community #Innovation #UrbanDevelopment #PioneeringSpirit #Infrastructure https://ayr.app/l/5M6Q

Did it make sense, to bulldoze the entire downtown back in 1964? I think those that still remember know that it was a tragedy brought on by a City Council that did not listen to its people. We are faced today with a few in the council that refuse to listen to the will of the people … AGAIN. I have always believed that the city wants Silicon Valley Power to take over the old City Hall and that the old City Hall will be relocated to District 1. Likewise that some in City Council wants related Project to be their new Downtown and that eventually City hall would be moved to that location. Another move that directly contradicts what most of the people want. Why in the world would you move a city hall to the farthest outskirts of the city, basically in Sunnyvales back yard. Wouldn’t it make more sense to sell the property where the old Police station is to build a new facility to house Silicon Valley Power; and to sell the property where a decaying City Hall now lies to build a new City Hall, either in the new Downtown or in a more centralized area of Santa Clara, but definately not in Sunnyvale’s back yard. A recent study shows that the present decaying City Hall is costing the city a lot of money for monthly repairs and maintenance. The location it sits on is perfect for high density housing and the city could make from 10 to 15 million an acre depending on how high. Sell the dam land that is nothing more than parking lots and falling apart structures and build wisely to provide revenue that would go directly to the general fund. We the people do not want a chaotic City to make the same mistakes that were made in 1964, where City Hall did as it pleased and the results were as The Mercury News said it best - that the destruction of the downtown was the worst mistake of of the century.

Is there an end in sight for the problems affecting this historically important street?

🌆 When investing in Commercial Real Estate, it's important to consider what neighborhood you are investing in and how your development will impact that neighborhood. For example, we've taken a cluster investing approach in Jacksonville's Historic Springfield, where we've invested in several historic buildings. As we revitalize these structures to be functional for the community, it provides residents with access to new businesses and amenities that they wouldn't have otherwise. 📈 #PropertyInvestment #CommercialRealEstate #RealEstateDevelopment #RealEstateInvesting #HistoricBuilding #ClusterInvesting

HAMPTON, VA - When Virginia took over the former U.S. Army base at Fort Monroe in 2011, the original plan was to carve most of it up and get it into the hands of private developers. But more than a decade later, the early visions of expansive private development haven’t materialized. The latest effort to build a new hotel and revamp the fort’s marina just fell through nearly three years after a deal was inked. Fort officials say the focus has shifted over time. For now, it’s emphasizing the site’s historical importance and retrofitting historic buildings for commercial use. But changes on the horizon — and the potential for a big cash infusion — may pave the way to finally get private development going around the national monument. “A massive real estate project” When the Army closed Fort Monroe in 2011, the 565-acre property was handed over to a state authority. Then-Delegate Glenn Oder was tapped to lead the Fort Monroe Authority and is still overseeing the fort today. Oder said the original charge from the state, as he describes it, was to essentially create a subdivision in the city of Hampton. He was told to divvy up the old base and parcel it out to let developers do their business, in part to make up for the economic shock for Hampton, which took a big hit when thousands of soldiers packed up and left. Early planning documents envisioned the land north of the original fort as a nexus of new development, with plans for hotels, restaurants and whole neighborhoods full of new residences. The Authority’s 2013 master plan cites the beachside Sanderling Resort in the Outer Banks as a model for what it envisioned. “What we realized about Fort Monroe is that it is a massive real estate project,” Oder said. “What we did not realize, and what has been our growing responsibility, has been the history of the property.”  Two months after Oder started, President Barack Obama declared Fort Monroe a national monument, and the history of the fort took precedence over just about everything else, he said. Old Point Comfort, where the fort leans out into the Chesapeake Bay, was the site of the first landing of Africans in America in 1619. And two and a half centuries later, a Union commander at Fort Monroe declared three escaped enslaved men “contraband” after Confederates tried to reclaim them from the fort. The decision paved the way for freed slaves to flee the Confederacy - thousands of whom sought refuge at what became known as“Freedom’s Fortress.” The original fort and plenty of the surrounding area are now National Park Service property. Besides that, the state’s Fort Monroe Authority owns dozens of historic buildings, a visitor’s center and a museum.
