    For what its worth... a "Lower Heights" sign is up on the feeder road. I kind of dig it. Sorry i didn't grab a picture.

    wade from FW??

    You're missing the new Preston apartment building.

    I couldn't agree more. The current aquarium location has served them well, but this makes more sense on the east side / near the touristy stuff.

    what old building are they 'incorporating'... i know there are some they tore down... Maybe that counts? hah.

    the drain that most downtown roads have..

    Good catch there! I did not see this... I was / am hoping for a mostly masonry exterior. I do recall the mock up looking promising! We shall see the extent of the brick work soon.

    I have a not so great feeling this will be stucco... No ledge for brick to rest on. Means this very large beast will potentially be disappointing in materials and appearance.

    Source? I wonder what kind of habitat they need...

    I think the East end will be changing a lot over the next 20 years. There is momentum there. The botanical garden will help. EADO stuff will help. Houston's Urban revitalization will help... I hope Eastwood looks ahead and protects itself from people coming in and wrecking havoc. Heights has managed to keep it's roots, despite the fact you see some major developments there. I think Eastwood can do the same with some thought and preparation. Min lot size / historic district / deeds / management district / tirz... all these things can help. I wouldn't trust developers' ability to best protect the area...

    You must be in First Ward. I am in 6th Ward. There is certainly a lot of density in our area. I hope we continue to improve and preserve green-space. It IS amazing how many birds are around... Although I think these primitive/prelim renderings may show a worse aesthetic than reality, I am not especially excited about this either. Density here is OK, but I don't want these kinds of buildings to creep into the neighborhoods. I hope the homes to remain in-tact. This lot is generally horrible, so whatever goes in, was going to be a little squirrelly.

    Love the function, but darn... all their resi towers look the same!!!

    it could have been SO MUCH WORSE for them. they should be grateful

    MICROSOFT TO EAST RIVER !!???? That would be perfect...

    100% behind this

    that head in parking on Dunlavy is not going to work, even though the existing structure has that parking existing.

    Would be really epic if true.

    Sounds like an apartment building - same developers as sunrise montrose? Bump to going up?
  19. Avossos
    that is a great analogy. working downtown is great.
  20. Avossos
    kind of looks like the same, boring glass as Hines' other buildings. I hope the variety in the renderings comes through in the materials...
  21. Avossos
    that’s what makes sense to me

    Here is a cool link i found. They definitely applied and it was pending in late January... https://www.thc.texas.gov/public/upload/preserve/national_register/draft_nominations/Battelstein's NR - SBR Draft.pdf https://www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalregister/pending-list-20191228.htm

    That means they will seek historic restoration tax credits... good. How did you find this out?
  24. Avossos
    but will it do it soon? 😶
  25. Avossos
    It has been a year and still no word. Does anyone have any information on this?
