There was really an opportunity to create an entrance to the bayou and walkway, even minimalistic like this with some simple landscaping.

 

 

If I look carefully, I can imagine Tobe Nwigwe sitting with Paul Wall....

That did not take long. One month? Giorgio Borlenghi should be appalled...

To be clear, that is not a "preliminary" number.  That is the July 1 population estimate, a different set of numbers than the official decadal census.

FWIW, the annual growth estimates are as follows:

• July 1, 2010-2011:  108,823
• July 1, 2011-2012:  127,111
• July 1, 2012-2013:  144,503
• July 1, 2013-2014:  171,753
• July 1, 2014-2015:  171,428
• July 1, 2015-2016:  135,512
• July 1, 2016-2017:  92,597
• July 1, 2017-2018:  76,036
• July 1, 2018-2019:  88,452
• July1, 2019-2020:  91,078

I think the slow-down was probably more a result of the drop in oil prices than Harvey (the biggest drop in growth occurred pre-Harvey).

Those estimates are always a bit wacky. The only thing you can trust are the actual census numbers, which have had a tendency to lop some of that growth back. Especially in Dallas-Fort Worth...

Okey-dokey, oil is pushing $70 a barrel. Is it party time again?

I love it, it's beautiful. Unfortunately, I think this has "to be scaled back down to earth" written all over it.

 

I seriously hope I am wrong though.

I'd love to know who the potential tenants for this are going to be...

Definitely going to be a surface parking lot at first.

Who's at first?🤣

Dude, you wanna try again? Uncalled for.

Really....

Another rendering but I believe the ones above are current.

God, I hope so....

God I hope I'm not a young digerati.

Maybe if I learned to play the digeridoo....

This one apparently eats lampposts so it's clearly a different animal....

Looks like a Steve Cutts graphic...

The first place I lived in when I got to DC was Caroline Oaks. Thirty years ago...

Any reason for the hold-up? I thought residential was sure thing in this environment.

I like the look. Too bad it's slammed up against 288....

Residential of all kinds is going to sell, so I'm not surprised...

Kind of wish they had waited a few more months. Now we may have to wait another year to see even the dirt being moved on new stuff around the TMC, etc.

Yep - the current Google imagery is rather dated... 

If it were me, I'd tear down everything else and just incorporate that wall with the "Remuv" tag into the next building that goes up on the lot...

So the electronics nameplate is now used to sell groceries? How the mighty have fallen...

A fence now surrounds the whole block.

That's disgusting, people have no respect for their own property.🤣

Missed their chance to call it the Elgin Towers....

Yes, because Randall Davis towers are so much better when there's room for a larger base.

The lot is not the problem. The developer is.

Yet I cannot argue with the fact that what he offers gets bidders. He knows how to sell crap....

Do not underestimate the musical tastes of hispanics. It can be diverse. In Mexico, for example, the 80s music discussed on this thread is popular among the younger generations.

Ah yes - Mexican Institute of Sound...

So this is really going to happen, or is the electrical permit just a tease?

That just looks massive, like a seven-story wall...

You always wanted to be able to read a newspaper by the light of the garage.🤪
