Lestat 6 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I heard there was government housing near this area, are those blue and white buildings in the background them? or just very drab townhouses? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

toxtethogrady 807 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 There are still a few neighborhoods where a mortgage would be cheaper than rent. Either the Feds can take some of the foreclosures and rent them out at the cost of acquisition (rather than letting them fall into the hands of the Blackstones of the world), or they can flip the foreclosures to prospective tenants, complete with fixed mortgages (since the adjustables are the contracts that blew up). If the urban planners are going to insist on multi-family developments, they should create numerous small blocks of housing rather than towers. They just have to make sure the properties don't fall into disrepair. The big problem is land that cheap enough to build on is getting further and further away from the central city.

phillip_white 1911 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 According to this, it maybe be two to three levels of below-grade parking. Looks like it is called Broadstone Skylinehttp://www.segoc.com/site/PDF%20Resumes/Slaven%20Seferovic%20-%20Resume.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Montrose1100 3714 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I wonder if the Allen Center Parking Garage will ever be improved, it is so big and so plain and right in your face.It was mentioned a while back that if/when the Allen Center should expand (brookfield?), there is placement for 2 towers above the garage (along with a few other sites). Which will hopefully one day put a nice glass curtain or wall garden to cover it. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

asubrt 754 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 This is another one that seems to be moving quite slowly. Maybe it's just because of the huge hole they had to dig for below-grade parking, but it's been under construction for about 7 months and still not at ground level (at least from what it looks like in that picture and when driving by on 45). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any industry folks able to tell us why they would choose to do so in this instance?

Will check out how high the southern portion is this weekend. I don't think the surface parking lot is part of it. Just the block and a half south of the parking lot. bound by Salnier, crosby, Andrews and Heiner.The parking lot just south of Dallas was the rumored Drake apartments that never were mentioned again after the one blurb that first mentioned them. http://devmap.io/cities/houston/developments 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
