[edit] Ben Ali Towers

In the article: Duke, Jacqueline. "Council backs revived downtown apartment project." 5 June 1985. Herald-Leader [Lexington]. 12 Nov. 2006.

"And last month, the council endorsed a $15 million housing bond issue for the Ben Ali Towers, a 12-story apartment complex to be built above the Ben Ali garage on Main Street."

Has this project been built? I can't recall a 12 story apartment complex of that size along Main Street... Seicer (talk) (contribs) 22:19, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Never mind. It was never completed. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 22:31, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infill

"In addition to rampant suburban growth, downtown Lexington is seeing a large building boom, with the revitalization of many historical structures and the construction of many new ones. Several new projects are taking advantage of now-disused tobacco warehouses along the South Broadway corridor. Others are utilizing infill techniques, filling in parking lots and low-density or out-of-character structures."

- The revitalization of historical structures, filling in of parking lots, low density development, etc are all examples of urban infill techniques. A simple rewording would correct any misinformation, but I wanted to get an opinion first. John Reaves 01:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

A slight rewording of that would be nice. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 02:11, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
