    First time I've seen this rendering. It looks like they've started working on the two "wrap" apartments. It's handsome in a suburban way. Quite frankly I'm more impressed with its southerly neighbor.

    A few things I saw while driving through campus.

    Bio Corridor has a sign now and a few cool-for-College-Station buildings, but still mostly grass.

    I took some very bad shots while driving by.

    I don't think it's so bad. The grass is always greener, and sadly we saw a rendering of the grass.

    I apologize for my ignorance of the whole scheme, but I'm wondering, in layman's terms, if the Pierce Elevated is demolished what then? Underground highway encircling downtown, and then a large boulevard over it? An argument on the "Australian's" thread over if the Pierce Elevated deters construction, I'd like to say it may be an extraordinarily handsome road if it were a tree-lined boulevard, ripe for even greater development.

    I'm sorry, but I'm quite partisan for the north-facing view of Downtown.

    If the apartments were five and a half times bigger it would have a Frasier type balcony view.

    At least this one is right on the straight line of Main street. In fact, I think it would give the whole downtown-medical district a sort of centripetal cohesion, pulling towards the roundabout.

    O please, o please, o please. It'll look so cool.

    I'm halfway between "easy come, easy go" and "this can't be going."

    Tear down the Target and replace the entire thing with a park (of hey, multicolored crepe myrtles.) Tear down the townhouses and built another line of towers while we're just naming fantasies.

    I don't mean to offend, but, boy I wish this floating cube straddled Main in Midtown.

    From a purely practical standpoint, increased-footage first units would seem fantastic. Maybe with a door open to the street? Security-wise it's the same thing.

    Since you asked, might I suggest that you're a very small person.
  17. EllenOlenska
    And wonder now how my heart filled with hope.
  18. EllenOlenska
    I wonder if any of the units are supposed to just step out to the pool or if they're supposed to be frustrated by glass and a hedge.

    I grew up in Pasadena. This...seems...right.

    As a thin, young, white person my answer is: much cheaper places.

    Can I start a group of people who aren't going to give an opinion conclusively till it's finished
  22. EllenOlenska
    Succinctly: all things at their price. I hope these are low.
  23. EllenOlenska
    Yeah, but that Rice Hotel shade of chestnut, right?

    They probably died when they tumbled off the pool deck.

    The luke-warm take depresses me.
