It appears the new apartment complex in downtown Carbondale will finish more quickly than anticipated it. All of the one bedroom apartments have rented, leaving the building about 45% empty and competing with the other complexes and rentals in town. I would imagine 80 to 100% rented by the time school starts as Evolve is the "new hotness" and students will want to move into the newest place in town.
I still see parking as a problem, though the complex owners do not agree. Parking in that area has always been a problem, which the meters were put in to help deal with. Of course, people just bought 8 hours worth of parking for $2 and left their cars in the 710 lot all day anyhow. Now, over half the 710 lot is gone and 540 new bodies, all with cars I would bet, are moving into downtown. Yes, there will be parking provided over on S. Washington but that is still out of sight and inconvenient for residents of the complex.
