310 at NuLu

310 South Hancock Street, Louisville, KY 40202

This comparison is about the street edge more than the facade. Broken Sidewalk's 2015 review contrasted a master-plan concept that held the Jefferson and Hancock corner with shops at the sidewalk against a completed building set back from the corner, a mid-block parking gap, and an inactive Hancock frontage.

What changed

  • The Liberty Green master plan called for a strong corner building at Jefferson and Hancock, with ground-floor retail activating the corner.
  • Broken Sidewalk's May 2015 review documented that the completed building set the corner structure back from Jefferson Street, with a tenant patio entrance where the concept showed an active retail corner.
  • The same 2015 review noted a parking-lot gap between Buildings 1 and 2 that interrupted the street wall and exposed surface parking to the sidewalk.
  • Broken Sidewalk described Building 3's Hancock Street frontage in 2015 as a blank wall.
  • Broken Sidewalk found in May 2015 that the planned ground-floor retail had not materialized.
  • The 2015 review also criticized facade details and exposed laundry venting that were not shown in the conceptual renderings.
  • As of August 2026, the property's official website continued to market 310 at NuLu as an apartment community.

Why it changed

No public explanation has been given.

What is on the record

Broken Sidewalk's 2015 critique attributed the deviations to unspecified decisions or market forces. No on-the-record statement from the developer explains the corner treatment, the absence of retail, or the facade details. Only one source covers this entry in detail, which is worth knowing when you read it.
