Sounds like you're talking about the Upper West End developments. I'm building a 3 story 3 bed/2.5/2 in Upper West end right now. It's at www.upperwestend.com. Parillo is finishing some neat 2/2.5/2 that are going for around 225 on Spencer right now, I think a few are still available. My 3 bed model is the last "big" TH he's building in the development and its going for 245. I'm biased because I love his design so much but I think the area is going to do well as well. Another developer was building some smallish 2/2/1's on Thompson and he listed for 150 but the price was up to 175 before he sold out (I think he sold out, they aren't on HAR anymore). Jeff

So you were the little weasels that stole that from under my nose... I was literally an hour late on my bid.

Thanks for the response! I do admit I feel in the love with the design and layout, and I was so hung up on the floorplan that I am worried i overspent to get into one of the last ones. I haven't seen many three bedrooms in the Rice Military/WE area for under 250 though, so hopefully I did well. Jeff

I just put down my earnest money on a 3/2.5/2 in Upper West End (Parra's group). The price was 245, up from 225 on the original floorplans which all sold out. http://search.har.com/engine/indexdetail.c...mp;backButton=Y Completion in May of 07. I love the area, I think its going to do well over the next 10 years, but like other's on this thread i am concered. The fence factory has been sold as far as I've heard, and is going to be developed. I'm a few blocks north of the tracks though. Any thoughts from experts here? I have a long-term horizon, at least 7-10 years. I love the design and layout of Parra's stuff, and I think the plan is unique enough to hold its own on resale (he has pledged not to build any new TH's of this design so there will be 12 in total in Upper West End). Am I being naive? Thanks in advance! The ones in question on Bonner were the Industrial. They sold out phase one and are selling phase two They were 2/2/2, and kinda oddly placed. Much closer to Washingon though. Jeff
