    I mean it could be worse

    I have questions about this proposed streetcar. Are they the ones proposing it? Or is Metro or the city actually talking about it seriously? There isn’t good North-South connections in east downtown right now. A street car through EaDo that goes up to navigation and easy River would be a nice connection, especially if it can have its own separated right of way over the trains

    When I lived downtown, Houston House had a deal where you could lease a second parking spot at the garage that would be across the street from this development. My guess would be that these 43 residents would have that option as well. Probably does mean that the parking spot will be an add on instead of included with the rent, which would be fine if the price is right. There's probably 30 free street parking spots around this place at night anyway, though you'll get a ticket if you don't wake up to feed the meter.

    They're solution on the Metrorail stretches was plastic chains that the pedestrians immediately dismantled or just go under. The real solution is more actual crosswalks

    They're really going to town on this place; it's about half gone now

    I mean I’m also annoyed that it’s 9 years after the bond passed

    They might be downsizing office space with more remote workers

    So does this mean that Lovett is moving into the building they just renovated?

    Sometimes the 29 bus goes down McKinney when there is a train stopped across Lockwood does that count?

    Why did the main cluster of skyscrapers develop where they did? Is it because of the 45 and Allen parkway ramps being right there?

    Looks like they are busting out half the windows on the sides and all on the front, in preparation for demolishing that half to make the patio & parking lot. Also can confirm that they only removed half the roof

    I like the floor plan, but I think the exterior would look much better styled like a brownstone LIKE ITS NEIGHBOR There was a development a block away that advertised “first floor living” and “large yards” that were also around $700k before COVID, but they were also nicer houses

    It was signed for Cleveland way back when it was built in the fifties. http://dallasfreeways.com/dfwfreeways/pdf/Eastex_Freeway_150ppi.pdf

    Modern farm finish sounds like the marketing for the new John Deere

    I remember that they worked in 2008 when I was here for school, but when I moved here in 2013 they weren't working anymore

    It would be cool if the parking garage was connected to Minute Maid via the existing train

    Hopefully it doesn't all get demolished for parking lots

    unless they are going to fund and build an almeda line

    They might also be doing all larger units - if you only have townhouses with garages and 2-3 br condos, you wouldn't need a very big parking garage

    Maybe East Downtown's old roofs suck? or maybe they won't support the infrastructure needed for commercial buildings?

    That system still has excess capacity?

    Noticed this a while back while walking the dog, and finally got around to taking a picture. Looks like the property includes the single family house next door Looked at their website, and there's no mention of this project but they do claim the Parc @ Midtown I've always thought this would be a nice plot for a park because of the two huge trees - hopefully they can keep them in their final design, but I'm not holding my breath.

    I'm stoked to be able to walk to a pharmacy instead of having to bike or drive to one I don't know what those other people's problem is
