Walked by Madison Marquettes offices today... through the windows both
in the conference room on the boardwalk and on the side of the
building, noticed alot of presentation boards with plans and renderings
on them... i'll run down what I saw (it made me feel very optimistic
about the future for the boardwalk):
Plans for Casino Arcade: four concepts with different layouts, they
appear to be for that market they are talking about... they look like
kiosks being shown placed in different locations and how they create a
flow of people through the arcade (doesnt include plans for the
carousel house or remainder of building, only the arcade part which is
open now).
Plans for a nicely designed mini golf course were on a display board.
Updated sight plan from May 06... shown are a different layout for the
hotel area not including the Palace, with ample space in front of the
carousel house. The Stone Pony is also still drawn in that plan as well.
Updated Wesley Grove phase plan: Phase I of the remainder of the
project includes the block across the street from the current phase...
the block where the former boe offices are was drawn in as Phase IVa
and IVb. Could this mean that a new developer is taking over and doing
things their way?
Many plans for 5th Avenue Pavilion on display. New renderings of the
exterior and plans for the ground floor retail and the upper bandshell
portion. A run down of things noticed on these boards:
1) Rendering of proposed renovations, very similar to what we saw a few
years ago but without the roof over the seating area of the
bandshell... original brick color, rebuilt ramps, and overall looked
really nice.
2) Ground floor plan, showing retail bays and area around the
pavilion... to the south a larger walkway (extended about as far as the
south end of Madam Maries) curvy, with planters, flowers, etc...
3) Second floor plan, showing new seating pretty much the same as the
old one and the rebuilt ramps...
Also, Convention Hall looks amazing inside with the new shops,
Christmas tree, bright lights, and music playing with lots of people
around... really a warm feeling that you never got before when it was
all closed up inside... and the facade of the building which has been
redone really looks great too.
