is that ground floor retail or are there just a lot of people in the lobby which appears to be sectioned off?

How will West creek and it's neighbors affect Afton Oaks?

Its a charming neighborhood, but I wouldn't mind if it wasn't there. Its one area I wouldn't mind seeing large scale demolition of all those period homes.

I felt dirty saying that. I need a shower now.

 

I'm glad you're in such a rush to demolish other people's homes.  That neighborhood has been around a long time, and it's those rich folks that live there that attract all of the high end retail.  Without them, Uptown wouldn't be the same.

Im no terrorist, I'm in no rush to demolish anyone's homes. But like I said, I won't mind seeing them flattened. There's a difference, dont twist my words

Haven't a lot (maybe even most) of those period houses already been demolished and replaced with new, larger houses?

Screw Afton Oaks. They are building these ugly track mansions, and then they think they live in River Oaks. We need the University Rail line to stop at Shepard. Then build a tollway right down Richmond through their area to connect to the Westpark Tollway. And screw Culberson!

 

maybe it's time your parents grounded you from your computer for a while.

What is their definition of "construction"? Right now we have empty apartment buildings, and I know for a fact that it takes them about 3-4 months to take down one of these buildings: obligatory wasting of time, appliance removal, wasting time, asbestos abatement, wasting time, further scrappage/prep, wasting time, and actual demolition.

This article is a few months old, but this part seems interesting:

 

"The building is designed to efficiently meet the needs of end users in a simple geometric form, with a skin that transforms throughout the day and night in a lively interplay with the surrounding development,” said Andy Kim, project designer at BOKA Powell.
