hindesky 46596 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 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/developmentsYou're right, when I go down Crosby St. on my bike I only see those steel clad townhomes but didn't realize that the apartments are going up just to the east of them next to the feeder. https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7564378,-95.3753679,249m/data=!3m1!1e3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Montrose1100 3718 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Beautiful photo. That area has changed so much. For the better.This picture is really missing that extra something. Like a 750ft residential skyscraper right by River Oaks. Art-deco inspired, something with a spire and plungers. That's what it's missing. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

j_cuevas713 3026 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) What I'm starting to see is an incredible shift in the quality of life in this city. It's overall becoming more aesthetically appealing at every level in every neighborhood. Houston just needed some serious TLC. So what's awesome is all these neighborhoods are densifying and becoming more settled and unique. Each neighborhood is developing it's own character and expectation, and that's what was really missing in this city for a VERY long time. So these lights are added charm and individuality to this Post Midtown area. Edited May 5, 2017 by j_cuevas713 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
