cspwal Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I wonder what La Branch will feel like between the Catalyst and 500 Crawford - will it have the nice urban canyon feel like Crawford does, or will it be a dead zone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hasn't quite topped out yet. The last floor appears to have been poured, but there is still rebar poking out of the south corner for the last wall: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruss Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 CSPWAL since they are adding retail and residences out in front of the tower on three sides of the catalyst I believe that there will be a wonderful vibe down there. If you haven't been able to get down in front of Minute Maid and get that sense of space that has been created you owe it to yourself to go down and walk amongst the bald cypresses and the nice limestone walls of the Fingers project. It has a really nice feel to it. Market Square is going to be electric when both of the towers on the corners get finished landscaped and lighted. It will be like a magnet to come down to Market Square and eat at any one of the outdoor spaces and take in the urban core. The view from Barnaby's of the Aris and the James Surls is already amazing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 That side of minute maid has defintely become one of the nicer sides because it is built up on both sides. The narrow part between Union station and the building feels dense, and the pocket baseball diamond park that's outside feels really neat now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I simply love this project. Building the whole block? Hiding the garage? Integrating live/work spaces on the street level? Kudos to this group. The architecture isn't the best but of all the new apartment towers built this cycle, this one knocks it out of the park with adding to the street fabric the best IMO. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Speaking of correction centers being ripe for repurposing in an earlier post, i heard this morning that state rep. Greene wants to move the prisoners from the little white two story building that house the prisoners who will be released soon over to the county building on the north side of the bayou thus making this property available for development. This building lies just north of the Fingers mega apartment building across from Minute Maid. This is a great plan and I hope it goes forward. It should be developed into a mixed use project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I'm not sure about linking but its directly north of Fingers new apartment project. It's on the corner of Crawford and I believe thats Preston on the south side that it fronts. It only takes up a small portion of a relatively empty block. I was told years ago when we lived in the Wagon Works buildings that this facility held prisoners who were on their last months or days before release from prison. Someone can correct me if that is erroneous but it is a very highly desirable location now with all of the residential development. I guess in an ironic way this could be considered the first residential building in this particular neighborhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
