Sanjorade 255 Posted October 10, 2017 I hear Frank Liu bought it, but the article says a young couple purchased it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FredG 6 Posted October 10, 2017 Frank Liu/one of his companies - purchased it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HNathoo 845 Posted October 10, 2017 Frank Liu bought this, so I think you should expect townhomes. I've heard that the salvage yard kitty corner to this (on Dallas) is under contract, and the warehouse at 2901 Polk will be redeveloped into a self-storage property. While I'm not a big fan of townhomes, Frank builds pretty high end stuff, so it should improve the look and feel of the area. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eastdwntwn 90 Posted October 10, 2017 Seems like Liu and Lovett Commercial have purchased a lot of property here on the eastside. There's the Post Building (proposed Spouts, CVS, and Offices), Lockwood and Harrisburg, and I-45 and Cullen. I know there has been some progress on Lockwood and Harrisburg but I wonder how long its going to take for anything else to actually materialize. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Change has been here for years, just not really as noticeable. I weep for traffic in the area. But hey, like you say... progress. I suppose I should get used to the idea and embrace it.

cspwal 3402 Posted January 28 Drove by it today, and the Frankel's site looked dead. The cold storage section looked like something was going on though 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like the intent is really just to man the site versus make any real progress. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
