BigFootsSocks Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 The name would be kinda dumb if it didn't have that cool logo. They should run a red tube light in the space above it to symbolize the Red Line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cspwal Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I like it better than an address, and I'm kind of glad they left a name available to someone else: "The Lofts on Leeland" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Alliance Residential has a naming scheme going on (Broadstone Midtown, Broadstone Post Oak, etc) and even though this is pretty similar to their other projects around town I too like the name. I'm sure it will bring one to be more curious about block numbers Downtown as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Website has been updated http://www.block334.com/ Rents starting at $1495 w/ 1 month free. A little more than I was expecting considering it's not a hi-rise like it's neighbors, but there are also no studio floor plans Edit:Just noticed the interior shots aren't even of the right apartment building - it looks to be Broadstone Midtown Edited February 18, 2016 by cspwal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astros148 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 way to expensive. they will have alot of competition with skyhouse, they are giving great deals. They were offering 8 weeks free with a 13 month lease. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonIsHome Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I guess it's like they say, good things take time. Skyhouse went up like a bullet but I heard there were a lot of problems.

cspwal Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The only thing they really have to do now is some finishing up on the corner of fannin and bell, and finish putting in the sidewalks. They put in the sidewalk along Leeland and tore it up and put a new one in, but it leads to a pile of dirt at the corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparrow Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Untitled by Chris Rojas, on Flickr I'm having a really hard time understanding why they would put balconies two feet up from street level. There's a certain security factor that is hard to get over with an inner city street level patio. Why not just increase the interior square footage of the first floor units?

EllenOlenska Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 In Chris Rojas's first image in post 516 I find it most intriguing that every building in that image is either residential or a hotel.

j_cuevas713 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yeah that long construction time always has to do with money. If you can space out how you pay for the project over a certain amount of time, the developer has more leverage in case anything goes wrong financially. The contract was given to the lowest bidder of course but in return you sacrifice how fast it gets built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astros148 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Is it normal to leave job material like that completely unattended for the day?
