Jax Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I feel bad for the people who will have a view of the spur overpass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I feel bad for the people who will have a view of the spur overpass. Why?  Chillin' out and laughing at people who are commuting home in Sugarland can be an excellent past time while you're at home already.

Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Sears won't be there in 2 years - mark my words. The Spur from that location moves it's 59 that's the parking lot. Not hating on this development - good for the neighborhood overall.

That entire block that where Sears and that abandoned building sit will be gone soon. This area is going to be a nice dense pocket of residential.

Jax Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I agree that it's great for the hood. I walk to Wheeler station along richmond a few days a week and it will be great having more life/activity in the area. I just realized how close some of the windows will be to the spur, and walking under that overpass every day I know how nasty it is under there. As you can see, some of my photos are taken from under the spur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

102IAHexpress Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I wouldn't feel safe in the lower unit. way too close to the street. wouldn't take much for a car to jump the curb and land in your living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Jax, there is another apartment building (or two) going up west of here, maybe half a mile that I saw the other day. Do you ever go that way? Do we have threads on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 There are threads for the other apartment near Richmond and Montrose, as well as the new Campanile office building also on Richmond near Montrose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Huge Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 You gotta be kidding me, this apartment building was looking great, then they covered it up with THAT?That siding looks like baby flurf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtsig Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Good lord. There has to be some city building code that forces these developers to choose the most boring color schemes / designs. I swear when I was in austin last weekend EVERY new complex incorporated stone and wood and had a very modern feel... It's a struggle to find anything that isn't beige stucco or brick.

I'm more concerned that they put that weird flat facade on half of it, and it's not even the half that would cover up the parking garage sticking out of the roof. What's up with that?

It's a struggle to find anything that isn't beige stucco or brick. Stone in Houston would just come across as ripping off Austin's style. It's completely inappropriate.  I don't the problem is with the materials per se; it's more with the detailing and grab bag faux historicness. At least this thing doesnt have any turrets.

King Owl Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 wow, this might even top Hanover West Gray's cheapness. Â Seriously, hardie-plank for the entire building?

Howard Huge Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 For those of us who hate the ugly mustard siding, I just snapped this pic. The first 3 floors will be covered in brick, as high up as the Tyvek insulation goes. Yay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
