Released Wednesday night, new renderings of the mixed use building planed for the Confluence Project show a wider bike trail along the river and brick and stone façades. The mixed use building is to be built along South Barstow, where recent demolition removed an entire block of buildings. Eau Claire City Councilman Andrew Werthmann voted for the new building plan at last night's Waterways and Parks Commission meeting, and has stated, "It was a unanimous vote … because the site plan drastically improved, the quality of the building improved, and sensitivity to historic design was a central theme."

You can see the original renderings here.
