Interim Improvements: 98 14th Street Public Space

3/18/2026

Midtown Alliance is planning interim physical improvements to the 98 14th Street property acquired by the Midtown Improvement District. Plans call for regrading and leveling the site to create an open multi-use lawn and walking paths around the perimeter.

The concept also calls for additional temporary and permanent improvements:

• Filling in the existing construction excavation with substantial dirt to return the site to a smooth, graded condition
• Seeding the area to create an open lawn suitable for casual use and community activation
• Installing basic pedestrian paths to encourage early access and exploration
• Adding fencing to secure portions of the site and to ensure public safety
• Installing lighting where needed to support visibility and comfort
• Removing outdated signage and advertising from the former sales center building
• Adding a protected pedestrian mid-block crossing on 14th Street

Progress to Date:

Initial site cleanup was completed to remove debris and ready the site to be regraded. Midtown Alliance secured the land disturbance permit from the City, and issued a Notice to Proceed on 3/23/2026 to Reeves Young, LLC to start construction of the interim site improvements.

Next Steps:

Site grading work is expected to be complete in mid-July 2026.
