The parking lot portion of the block is under different ownership.

SRO, means these are not apartments. They are more like college dorms. Typically, SROs are one person per unit, smaller than a studio apartment, and no kitchen.

Amegy owned it as of a few years ago.

50 feet is standard for a pipeline easement.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a circa 2007-8 thread about a Hilton Garden Inn proposed for the vacant half block next to the Wedge Tower garage.

I heard something about a Turkish company and a boutique hotel. That's all I've got.

I heard a rumor that this block would be non-highrise apartments. Sounds like the rumor is accurate.
