DFW places second, only behind NYC, in apartment delivery for 2017. Via Rent Cafe: Candys Dirt

I was wondering if they would do something about the unsightly concrete floors, looks like they get covered up and/or painted.

Root Park has some amazing trees. Too bad it doesn't have any sidewalks around its edge, at least on this side. Wonder if they got taken away when La Branch St was expanded to a freewayesque 5 lanes. I think I-45 downtown is only 4 lanes per side.

Hi everyone -- I thought the group might be interested in the mini novela of comments I sent to TxDOT (see attachment). My focus is on maintaining and improving local, inner-city connectivity options between the East End, Downtown, and neighborhoods west of Downtown. I don't feel like we can afford to lose any more of our existing east-west roadway options, because we already have so few of them. I would hate for our local east-west roadway connectivity to start looking like Austin's north-south connectivity! Remember, comments are due by July 27, 2017. Feel free to use any of the figures/arguments I've put together if you agree with them -- no need to reinvent the wheel! IH-45 Comments - FINAL (Sharing).pdf

And finally the last building comes down... Taken earlier this evening.

Near Northside is an up and comer, wxman. You'll be sorry you didn't get in on the ground floor, when you had the chance. Aside from being walking distance from the LR and just a couple stops from downtown, you'll soon have expanded and enormous St Arnold's Beer Garden, within a short walk and White Oak Music Hall/Raven Tower/Etc., just up Main. If you haven't yet been to The Edison (just about 1.5 mile or a few LR stops north) you're in for a real treat. But, I guess if you've got the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, and all the Olive Garden breadsticks you can eat, I could see your point of view. However...I do agree that this development was lacking from the start, and I agree with Montrose...The Clock tower was the beginning of the problem.

FWIW, there are also apartments next to the Beltway in City Centre. Not only do we not know for certain this will mean the end of mixed use, we don't know for certain it will mean the end of well-integrated mixed use. We really don't know anything other than that the property is being marketed. It could end up being just about anything, including, well-integrated mixed use.

I loved the idea of townhomes there. You see townhomes in Manhattan, downtown Boston, central city Philly, so why not Houston? Gives life to the street scape and adds some quirkiness.
