Alliance Communites just bought the 8.2 acres on the corner of I-610 and W. 18th street for a 4 story luxury apartment complex to be called Broadstone Lofts on W. 18th. 5.7 acres will be used for the complex, the remaining 2.5 acres will be divided up between a family style restaurant and either a branch bank or small retail center..."

Alliance has 4 other properties in Houston, the closest one being in the Galleria area.

Forgot to add the website...

the sites states "Coming to Houston Winter 2006"

Not very "luxury" if you ask me, but it is nice to see money being invested to help clean up the area.

Does anyone know what is going up on the S.W. corner of W. Dallas and Taft? It used to be a cafe or diner of some sort. Construction is far along. Looks like a nice bldg, but has limited parking. Any clues?

I live in Timbergrove. The area seems to be cleaning up a bit, although slowing. I just read in my NH's monthly newsletter...

Not too keen on all the apartments coming to the area, but it does show signs of continued growth in the NW-inner loop area.
